  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 6 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Cheese

  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
  • ¼ cup mozzarella, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Cabbage: Place the finely sliced cabbage into a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over it and massage the cabbage gently for 20-30 seconds until it softens. Then, add the chopped fresh dill and set aside.
  3. Make Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, beat 3 large eggs thoroughly. Add ½ cup plain yogurt and ¼ cup olive oil, then whisk together until combined smoothly.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in ⅓ cup all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking soda into the wet mixture and stir gently until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
  5. Combine with Cabbage: Pour the batter over the softened cabbage, then add 1 cup shredded mozzarella. Using a spatula, fold and mix everything evenly so the cheese is well distributed.
  6. Bake Initial Layer: Grease a 9-inch baking pan lightly and pour the cabbage mixture into it. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to set and begin cooking through.
  7. Add Topping and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella evenly on top, then return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and becomes slightly golden.

Notes

  • Massaging the cabbage with salt softens it and releases moisture, which prevents the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Using fresh dill adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the cheese and cabbage nicely.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for varied flavors.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main meal with a salad.
