Quick & Easy "Crab Cake" Sandwich

Well turns out inspiration came at the right time and I had delicious and light crab cake sandwiches for lunch! Ingredients: Whole wheat bread, 2 slices I package (7 oz) Imitation Crab Meat Two stalks of celery, finely chopped 2 Tbsp onion, finely chopped 4 Tbsp stone-ground mustard 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce  Zesty lemon seasoning, to taste Pepper, to taste  Sliced Cheese (optional) Directions: Mix together last 7 ingredients in a bowl and spread on toasted bread. Grill in George Foreman grill or panini maker until warm, or cheese is melted.
