No. That sounds pretty soggy! We use sliced fresh tomato on top when we
have it that way. The stweed tomatoes are served in bowls. Open-faced
grilled cheese with tomato and bacon are sublime. My late FIL used to
want cheese, ham, and a pineapple slice on an English muffin for his
"open-faced grilled cheese". To each his own....
