My favorite time for this recipe is a weekend lunch when the whole family or all the roommates are hanging around and need a bite! It's an easy warm lunch that is quickly prepared and cleaned up. You can also make them ahead and re-heat in the toaster oven!

1 Slicing Tomato
6 oz Havarti Cheese
Tuna Salad
