1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. While the skillet heats, lay out the rye bread slices. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
3. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard across each slice.
4. Layer 4 ounces of pastrami and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the mustard-covered slices of bread.
5. Add a slice of dill pickle on top of the cheese for added tang and texture (optional).
6. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
7. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly for about 1 minute.
9. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy your deli-style hot pastrami sandwich!
