Spread @Dijon mustard{2%tablespoons} on one slice of @rye bread{2%slices} and @?mayonnaise{1%tablespoon} on the other slice, if using.

On the mustard-coated slice, pile the @pastrami{1/2%pound}(sliced) slices evenly. Top with @Swiss cheese{2%slices}.

If desired, you can toast the sandwich in a #skillet{} over medium heat, pressing it slightly to warm the pastrami and melt the cheese. Cook for ~{3-4%minutes} per side, until golden brown and crispy.

Once the sandwich is ready, slice it in half and garnish with @?Kosher dill pickle{}(sliced) slices, if desired.
