Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 6 ounces Pastrami
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 pieces Pickles (optional, for serving)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly.
Layer 3 ounces of pastrami on top of the mustard on each slice, ensuring even distribution.
Add 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the pastrami for each sandwich.
Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side facing out.
Place each sandwich into the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half for serving.
Serve hot with pickles on the side, if desired. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy fried pastrami sandwiches!
