Preparation
- Step 1
Place crab meat in a bowl. Add bread, then parsley and cilantro.
- Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip, mustard, egg and white pepper.
- Step 3
Slowly pour dressing into crab meat, using a fork to lift and fluff mixture. Add just enough so that it clings together.
- 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.
- Step 5
Before cooking, dip the crab cakes in cracker crumbs. This prevents crab meat from getting hard when sautéing.
- 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.

I would suggest using Best Foods/Hellmans real mayonnaise in place of Miracle Whip and crumbled Cornbread (baked) for white bread…should be delicious!
How does one grate a slice of white bread?
Blitz a moment in food processor if the bread is too soft to use the coarse side of your grater.
I dunno, maybe freeze it first?
