Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.75 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan until melted and smooth. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched cabbage and cheese sauce. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Transfer the cabbage mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until well-coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the cabbage.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
