Oven-roasted cabbage with Parmigiano and Asiago cheese

Ingredients

• 1 medium-size green cabbage
• 1/2 cup crushed tomato or tomato puree
• 1 stalk of celery, chopped
• 4 Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
• 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil
• 1 pat of butter (optional)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of paprika

Method

Firstly, cut the cabbage into quarters or wedges. Place the cabbage into a pot of boiling water and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let stand.

Next, put 1 tablespoon of oil and a pat of butter into a sauté pan. Bring to heat and add the chopped celery, carrots, onions, and sliced mushrooms. Add salt and pepper to taste and sauté until the onions are translucent and the carrots are softened. Then set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 tablespoon of oil into an oven roasting dish. Add the cabbage and spread the vegetables over the top. Add the tomatoes by spooning them over the top and sprinkle with paprika.

Finally, top with grated Parmigiano and Asiago. Drizzle some olive oil on top. Place in the oven and bake until the cheese starts to brown and the edges of the cabbage begin to caramelize—about 20 minutes.

You can use other types of cheese, such as Cheddar, Fontina, or Swiss.

Baked cabbage with American and Swiss cheese

Ingredients

• 2 medium cabbage heads, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 3/4 cup shredded American cheese
• 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Steam the cabbage in batches if necessary.

In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the cabbage and stir to coat.

Spoon the cabbage into a large casserole dish, packing it down if necessary to make the cabbage flush with the dish.

Sprinkle the cheeses over the cabbage and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Garnish with parsley and serve.

Tips

This recipe works well with either green or purple cabbage. Green cabbage tends to be sweeter when cooked, but purple cabbage is packed with vitamins and minerals.

You can also experiment with different types of cheese. Smoked gouda, parmesan, and mozzarella are all delicious options.

Cheesy cabbage sauté with Alpine Cheddar

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced
• 4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
• ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white
• ¼ cup dry white wine or broth
• 4 ounces Alpine Cheddar, grated (about 1 cup)

Method

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cabbage, and salt to the skillet and cook, stirring often. Reduce the heat if the vegetables are browning before they are softening. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the vegetables are melting soft and starting to brown (approximately 12 to 15 minutes).

Stir in dill and pepper, followed by wine or broth, and then top with cheese. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted (about 1 to 2 minutes).

Serving

This cheesy cabbage sauté works well as a side dish with a roasted protein such as pork or chicken. You can also add a little white wine to enhance the flavour.

Cheesy cabbage casserole with cornflake crumbs

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cabbage
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 2 10.5 oz. cans of cream of chicken soup
• 3 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar or Colby-Jack)
• 2 cups of cornflake crumbs
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Method:

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Shred the cabbage and dice the onion. Place half of the cabbage in the bottom of the pan, followed by the onion, and then the remaining cabbage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken, milk, sour cream, and cheese. Pour this mixture over the cabbage. Bake for about an hour, until the sauce is bubbling and the cabbage is tender.

Mix the cornflake crumbs with the butter and sprinkle over the top of the cabbage. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until bubbling and the cabbage is cooked to your liking.

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

• This recipe is very forgiving, so don't worry too much about exact measurements.
• You can use butter cracker crumbs instead of cornflakes if you prefer.
• Try adding some diced ham or kielbasa to make it a complete meal.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
• You can assemble the casserole a day ahead of time and refrigerate until you're ready to bake it.

Cheesy cabbage wedges with a low-carb cheese sauce

Ingredients:

• 1/2 head of white or savoy cabbage
• 4 tablespoons of butter (unsalted)
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut the head into four wedges.
• Place the wedges into a saucepan of water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. This step ensures the cabbage is soft and tender.
• Remove the wedges from the saucepan and place them in a small baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a separate saucepan and add the spring onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender.
• To make the low-carb cheese sauce, add the cream, mustard, seasoning, and Parmesan cheese to the saucepan. Stir gently until combined. You can also add other cheeses like cheddar, smoked Gouda, mozzarella, or blue cheese for extra flavour.
• Pour the cheese sauce over the cabbage wedges, ensuring they are well coated.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
• Serve with a garnish of freshly chopped parsley.

Tips:

• You can add other fresh herbs like thyme or oregano, or even spices like cayenne pepper or paprika, to the cheese sauce for extra flavour.
• If you want a stronger flavour, add garlic or garlic powder to the sauce.
• For a vegan option, try using a keto vegan cheese sauce or a dairy-free alternative.
