Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium green cabbage, chopped (about 2 pounds)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, chop it into thin strips, and lightly boil or sauté it until just tender.
  3. Drain the cabbage thoroughly and allow it to cool slightly to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  5. Spread the cabbage evenly in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with chopped onion.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the cabbage and sprinkle flour or breadcrumbs evenly on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Drain the cabbage well to prevent a watery casserole.
  • Do not overbake, as this can dry out the casserole.
  • You can prepare the casserole a day ahead and bake before serving.
  • For added richness, a small amount of mild cheese may be added without overpowering the dish.
