Classic Pastrami & Swiss Pretzel Sandwich

Print Recipe

Layered with peppered pastrami, melted Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and dill pickles on a warm cheese-topped pretzel bun, this deli-style sandwich is bold, savory, and totally satisfying. A modern spin on a New York deli classic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cheese pretzel bun, sliced
  • 4 slices peppered pastrami
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut (drained)
  • 4 dill pickle slices
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter (for toasting)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the cut sides of the pretzel bun and toast until golden and crisp. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, lightly warm the pastrami slices until heated through.
  3. Spread mustard (and mayo if using) on the bottom half of the bun.
  4. Layer Swiss cheese, warm pastrami, pickle slices, and sauerkraut on top.
  5. Cap with the top bun and serve warm with extra mustard on the side.

Notes

  • Use a sandwich press or wrap in foil and warm in the oven for an even melt.
  • Drain sauerkraut well to avoid sogginess.
  • Substitute with rye bread or other sturdy roll if pretzel buns aren’t available.
