Instructions

1. Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded Swiss cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
3. Lay the pastrami slices flat on a clean work surface. If the slices are large, cut them into smaller pieces for bite-sized portions.
4. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture onto each piece of pastrami.
5. Carefully fold or roll the pastrami around the filling, enclosing the cheese mixture as much as possible.
6. Arrange the bites seam-side down on the prepared plate or baking sheet.
7. For a warm and extra-creamy texture, place the bites in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese softens.
8. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature. If preparing ahead, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
