Looking for an old pampered Chef appetizer recipe. You use the bread tube, zucchini and tomato slices.?

I can't remember the mayo mixture that you spread on the bread slices., I think they are topped with mayo mixture, zucchini slice and cheese as well and then put back into oven to melt all together. Great appetizer but I have not made it in YEARS and have lost the recipe.Looking for an old pampered Chef appetizer recipe. You use the bread tube, zucchini and tomato slices.?
