Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Remove the tough outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into wedges. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and blanch the cabbage for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese. Add the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Spread half of the cabbage evenly into the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the cabbage. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and cheese sauce to create two layers.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy scalloped cabbage!
