Combine Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, chopped onion, lump crab meat, chopped artichokes, parsley, fine sea salt, white pepper and smoked paprika in a medium bowl. Toss to combine being carful to not break apart crab pieces.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until starting to lightly brown.

Evenly spoon hot crab mixture over each slice of bread, 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese.
Place back under the broiler until cheese melts, approximately 2 minutes, but watch closely considering that broilers vary greatly.
Serve open face and hot.
