1/2 pound pastrami

Lay two pieces of bread on a flat work surface. Layer mustard, pastrami, cheese, onion, cornichons and mustard on the bread slices, distributing evenly. Place other slices of bread on top of the sandwiches and secure with a toothpick.
To grill the sandwiches, heat your panini press or a large skillet to medium-high. Add olive oil and cook sandwiches for about three minutes on either side.
