Step 3

Top with Cheese and Bake

Once seasoned, generously sprinkle your favorite **grated cheese** over the cabbage. The more cheese, the better!

Place the cabbage slices on a baking tray and bake in an oven preheated to **200°C (400°F)** for about **10-12 minutes**. You want to achieve a lovely golden crust on top.

Servings

Faq

  • Can I use any type of cabbage?

    While you can use other types of cabbage, young green cabbage works best for this recipe as it has a sweeter flavor and tender texture.

  • What cheese is best for this recipe?

    I recommend using a cheese that melts well, like mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda, to achieve the perfect gooey texture.

  • How do I ensure my cabbage cooks evenly?

    Cut the cabbage into uniform pieces and ensure they are not too thick to allow for even cooking in the oven.

  • Can I make this dish ahead of time?

    While best served fresh, you can prepare your cabbage and toppings ahead of time and bake just before serving for maximum deliciousness!

  • Can I add other vegetables?

    Absolutely! Feel free to include bell peppers or zucchini for additional taste and nutrition. Just ensure they are cut similarly to the cabbage!

  • What temperature should I bake the cabbage at?

    Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 10-12 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling!
