In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice & mayonnaise until well blended.
Add crab meat to mayonnaise mixture and blend well.
Then add Old Bay Seasoning, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and black pepper (to taste) & mix to combine.
On a broiling pan or baking sheet, brush one side of 2 bread slices and place buttered side down. Top the unbuttered sides with the crab mixture & cheddar cheese.
Then add the other 2 slices of bread with the buttered sides facing up.
Place pan in oven and bake for 5 minutes. Then carefully flip the sandwiches over and bake for another 4 minutes.
Turn your oven on broil and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until sandwiches are a nice golden brown. Keep a close eye on the sandwiches while broiling in order to prevent burning.
Optional: Add tomato slices to the insides of your crab melts immediately before serving.
