Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 2

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut the cabbage into quarters, and trim the core. Thinly slice the quarters into shreds.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage and blanch for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Remove the sauce from heat and mix in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Step 7

Spread half of the cooked cabbage evenly into the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over the cabbage. Add the remaining cabbage on top and cover with the remaining sauce.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the scalloped cabbage cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or main course!
