This is just the perfect appetizer to start off a meal. Whenever I’m in doubt what to start my supper with, I always go back to this recipe since it’s so good and everyone likes it!
4 slices rye bread or 8 (1/2-inch) slices baguette
oil for sautéing
Bartenura Olive Oil for drizzling
1 and 1/2 tablespoons Gefen Mayonnaise
1 (1- and- 1/4-pound) package pastrami, cut into strips
1 small onion, diced
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
spicy mayo (optional), for topping
Gefen BBQ Sauce (optional), for topping
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drizzle olive oil over sliced bread. Stick bread into the oven for approximately five minutes. It should become slightly golden brown.
Meanwhile, saute the onion in oil. Once the onions are golden, add in pastrami strips, salt and pepper. Allow it to cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the bread is ready, remove it from the oven.
Smear one teaspoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread (or half a teaspoon of mayonnaise on each baguette slice).
Top with the pastrami mixture.
Optional: Drizzle spicy mayo and BBQ sauce on top of pastrami mixture. Enjoy!

How can I use this lovely recipe on yom tov? Any good if I prepare the toast before yom tov ?and just reheat on hotplate ?
Hi Pearl,
We recommend toasting it only right before you eat it. Reheating it will harden the bread past the point of it being yummy….
Also, make sure to keep the elements separate.
We hope you enjoy!
