Instructions
- Spread 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard on one side of each of 4 slices of rye bread.
- Layer the thinly sliced pastrami and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on the mustard side of the bread.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, mustard-side facing the cheese and pastrami.
- Preheat a panini press or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, ensuring all areas are covered for a uniform golden crust.
- Place the sandwiches on the preheated panini press or griddle.
- Cook until the bread is toasted to a golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted, about 5 minutes on each side. If using a griddle, flip the sandwich halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove the sandwiches from the heat and allow them to rest for a minute so the cheese can further meld with the pastrami.
- Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal and serve immediately while still warm.
Tips
- For an authentic New York deli experience, try serving the panini with a side of pickles and potato chips. If you don't have a panini press, you can use a heavy cast-iron skillet or a brick wrapped in aluminum foil to press down the sandwich while it cooks.
