I modified a recipe in The Joy of Cooking to make this, which suited our tastes better (and used things I actually had in the house!). I think this would even be a hit with people who don't usually like cabbage. For the milk or light cream I used 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half. I actually used a bag of cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) for the cabbage, so this was REALLY quick to make! Ingredients:
butter |
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs |
water |
salt |
6 cups cabbage, shredded |
2 eggs |
1 cup milk or 1 cup light cream |
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup flour |
1 teaspoon seasoning salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Butter a baking dish (2 qt casserole dish or 8x8 should both work).
3. Dust the dish with about 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs - discard any extra that don't stick.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
5. Add cabbage to boiling water, cook for 5 minutes.
6. Drain cabbage and gently press out as much water as possible.
7. Whisk together in a large bowl: eggs, milk, flour, salt, mustard, and pepper.
8. Mix in the 1/2 cup of cheese.
9. Stir in the cabbage.
10. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
11. Top with the 1/4 cup of cheese and 1 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs.
12. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until set and golden brown on top.
