Equipment

  • Some kind of small casserole dish like 9" Round Pie Dish 8'' square dish.
  • A mandolin would make your life easier, but, you can use a knife instead

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 lb green cabbage (about 1/4 large head of cabbage)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Green onion to garnish chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Prep your Cabbage: Thinly slice your cabbage. This step is crucial for the recipe to work; ensure all slices are very thin. Butter the pie dish and add the sliced cabbage to it. To soften the cabbage, sprinkle some salt and massage it in.
  • Create the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, whipping cream, and mayo until blended; then incorporate dry ingredients.
  • Assemble your casserole:Pour the batter on top of the cabbage and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake: Bake until golden brown perfection in about 35 minutes.

Notes

  1. I can't stress enough the importance of your cabbage being thinly sliced for this recipe to work and to not add too much cabbage. If at all possible use a scale at home, or weigh it at the grocery store so you can make a better guess when you get home. 
  2. Not sure what to do with leftover cabbage? I recommend slicing it and placing it in a ziplock bag, then freezing it flat. The next time you want to make this casserole, simply take it out of your freezer and dump it directly into your casserole dish. No need to thaw, as long as you froze it flat, allowing you to easily spread it around the dish instead of dealing with one giant clump."
