COOKINGIRLLJ at allrecipes says that her"method of topping the tuna salad with cheese FIRST, then tomato and more cheese, keeps the toppings from sliding off the bread". I have not tested this theory but it sounds as though it would work!

Not tried these with a slice of tomato. Will next time though. I also like the idea of using a slice of rye under them. Wow, the more I look at these, the hungrier I get...
Thanks.
