Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2.5 tsp minced garlic
  • 8 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 0.5 cup vegetable broth
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.75 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.75 cup sour cream full-fat preferred
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella divided
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soften onion for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add cabbage. Cook, tossing often, until wilted and slightly tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour in broth. Cover to steam 3 minutes, then uncover and reduce most of the liquid.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in half the cheddar and half the mozzarella.
  • Combine the warm cabbage mixture with the creamy cheese mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Spread into the baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake until bubbly and golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Rest 10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Variation: Add 1 cup cooked crumbled bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the cabbage for extra savoriness. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat covered at 350°F until warm.
