Ingredients
Scale
Liquid and Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese (1 1/2 cups shredded)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1 pound green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head or 6 cups finely sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh or frozen dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped, plus more to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish lightly to prevent sticking.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and mayonnaise until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cornstarch. Gradually whisk this dry mixture into the egg mixture until smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare Cabbage: Place the finely sliced cabbage in a large bowl. Sprinkle it with salt and scrunch it with your hands to soften and release some moisture. Add the chopped green onion and dill, then mix well.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the cabbage mixture evenly in the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg and flour batter evenly over the cabbage. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese across the top to cover evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown, set in the center, and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella cheese with cheddar or a cheese blend if preferred.
- Adjust the salt according to taste, especially if using salted cheeses.
- Make sure to finely slice the cabbage to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- This casserole can be served as a main dish or a side, pairing well with roasted meats or a fresh salad.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
