Rye bread gets toasted in butter until deeply golden, giving this sandwich a crisp, sturdy base for all that melty Swiss cheese. A layer of tangy yellow mustard adds bright contrast, while dill pickle slices on the side bring the classic sharp crunch this sandwich is known for. Cutting it on the diagonal shows off those gooey cheese pulls in every bite, and it comes together fast enough for a weeknight lunch or dinner. This version is a solid pick for a vegetarian kitchen, delivering all the deli-counter comfort without missing a beat.

Meal Mart Pastrami Shoulder - 0.50 Lb
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl to coat the pan. Place all 4 slices of rye bread in the skillet and toast until golden on the underside, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer the bread to a cutting board, toasted side up.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the pastrami in a loose mound and pour the water around the edges of the pan. Cover immediately with a lid and steam until the pastrami is heated through and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
