Preheat broiler.  After making tuna salad, lightly toast 8 slices of bread.  Divide mixture as above, topping each with 3 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack) then broil until cheese is melted but not browned, about 1 minute.  Top tuna salad and melted cheese with remaining slices of toast.
