In a food processor, chop onions, capers and gherkins.

In a bowl, blend egg yolk, tuna, ginger into onion mixture, then add whipped cream. Whisk egg whites until foamy, then carefully mix into tuna preparation.

Preheat broiler.

Place a slice of Canadian Swiss cheese on each bread slice. Spread generously with tuna mixture. Place under broiler, with oven door open, 5 minutes or until canapés are golden. Garnish with whipped cream seasoned with Dijon mustard and decorate with a few capers.
