Ingredients

  • 4 slices Rye bread
  • 8 oz Pastrami
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup Coleslaw
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 slices Pickles

Directions

Step 1

Begin by spreading one tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread.

Step 2

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mustard-coated side of two slices of bread.

Step 3

Layer each sandwich with 4 oz of pastrami, folded neatly over the cheese.

Step 4

Add 1/2 cup of coleslaw on top of the pastrami for each sandwich.

Step 5

Cover the coleslaw with the other slice of bread, mustard-side down.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter.

Step 7

Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet once the butter has melted and begun to sizzle.

Step 8

Cook the sandwiches for about 3-5 minutes on one side or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the bread is crispy and golden.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.

Step 11

Slice each sandwich in half, add two slices of pickles on the side, and serve immediately.
