Instructions:
- Beat eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Add seasonings: To the beaten eggs, add parsley flakes, French mustard, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, Miracle Whip, salt, and pepper.
- Incorporate crab meat: Carefully fold in the lump crabmeat, ensuring not to break up the lumps too much, maintaining their texture and integrity.
- Form crab cakes: Shape the mixture into 12 balls and gently roll them in cracker crumbs until evenly coated.
- Flatten into cakes: Press down on each ball to flatten them into cakes, ensuring they hold their shape.
- Heat sauté pan: On the stove top, heat a sauté pan with a little oil over medium heat.
- Sauté crab cakes: Once the pan is hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side. Then, flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown and the cakes are heated through.
- Alternatively, broil: For an alternative cooking method, preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, ensuring to flip halfway through for even cooking.
