Growing up we would go to a Broadway show and then get a pastrami sandwich. NYC has super iconic delis but the best was always Carnegie Deli! Named for their original location across from Carnegie Hall, where you could get sandwiches larger than your face sandwich, you can now order online and have it delivered right to your doorstep.
I was so excited when they asked me to be a brand ambassador. I truly love all their food. The knishes are butter mashed potato love, the cookies are amazing, and the cheesecake is true NYC authentic. Here is my favorite sandwich I ordered at the deli: a Pastrami on Rye with Russian dressing. Hope this brings back awesome NYC foodie memories too! Happy Cooking and hope you love the Jewish grilled cheese recipe as much as I did.

Hope you love this recipe and I am always grateful for you! Happy Cooking!

The Ultimate Tip For the Crispiest Grilled Cheese Crust:

Heat up a skillet at medium heat.
Brush the outside of the bread with lots mayonnaise (Try this Japanese Mayo it is tangier and addictive).
Place grilled cheese on dry pan.
Cook approximately 2 minutes per side.
Every bite will give you that crunchy bite!
