Crab Cakes

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Place crab meat in a bowl. Add bread, then parsley and cilantro.

2. Step 2

   In a bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip, mustard, egg and white pepper.

3. Step 3

   Slowly pour dressing into crab meat, using a fork to lift and fluff mixture. Add just enough so that it clings together.

4. Step 4

   Form into cakes in the palm of your hand, about 3 inches round and ¾ inch high. Lay on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to set.

5. Step 5

   Before cooking, dip the crab cakes in cracker crumbs. This prevents crab meat from getting hard when sautéing.

6. Step 6

   Heat the butter in a frying pan until foamy. Add crab cakes and sauté until browned on both sides and heated through, turning just once. Remove from pan. Serve.
