Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Thin sliced pastrami
- 4 slices Keto-friendly bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Pickles
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by laying out the slices of keto-friendly bread on a clean surface.
Spread a layer of Dijon mustard evenly on each slice of bread.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on two of the bread slices.
Layer the 200 grams of thinly sliced pastrami evenly on top of the Swiss cheese.
Add a slice of pickle and one Romaine lettuce leaf on each sandwich.
Season the pastrami with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of Swiss cheese.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of keto-friendly bread, mustard side down.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt half of the butter.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwiches, adding the remaining butter to the skillet, and cook on the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice each in half, and serve warm.
