Ingredients

• 1 head cabbage
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the cabbage into large chunks or wedges, discarding the core. Steam or boil the cabbage for 8-10 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Spread the steamed cabbage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cabbage, ensuring all the pieces are well coated.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
