Ingredients

• 1 medium head (about 2 lbs) Green cabbage
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 cups Shredded Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage, then slice it into thick wedges. Steam the cabbage wedges in a large pot or steamer basket for 7-10 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the flour, cooking and whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes, without letting it brown.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of Gruyère cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Transfer the steamed cabbage pieces into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cabbage, spreading it with a spatula to coat all the pieces.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened, then sprinkle the mixture over the cabbage.

Step 8

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyère cheese.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cabbage Au Gratin as a comforting side dish or a main course!
