Smoked Gouda & Cabbage Bake
Cabbage is one of the most underrated stars of the kitchen. It stores beautifully, is packed with nutrition, and can be prepared in countless ways—from crisp and fresh to warm and comforting. This creamy cheese and cabbage bake is one of my favorite ways to showcase its versatility. With the rich flavor of smoked gouda and a sprinkle of fresh dill, humble cabbage is transformed into a dish that always gets a big thumbs up around the table.
Filling
- 3 cups Cabbage finely shredded
- 1/2 cup Smoked Gouda Havarti or Parmesan cheese (shredded)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a 8" cast-iron skillet: set aside.
Make filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, cheese, fresh herbs and salt. Mix well and add to prepared skillet.
Make crust: In a small bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream and eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder and soda and salt. Pour over the cabbage mixture in the skillet. Lift the cabbage, using a fork to let the mixture distribute throughout the pan.
