Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil 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. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan until melted and smooth. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched cabbage and cheese sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the cabbage mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until well-coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the cabbage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
