Equipment

  • Large skillet with lid
  • Baking dish
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green cabbage trimmed and chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup water (start with ½ cup and add more as needed)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup Asiago cheese freshly shredded (about 4 oz)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly shredded (about 2 oz)

Instructions

  • Soften the Cabbage. You'll need: 2 pounds green cabbage, 2 tbsp butter, 1 cup water (divided as needed), 1 tsp table salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp red pepper flakes.
    Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped cabbage, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, tossing to coat. Pour in ½ cup water, cover, and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender with a slight bite. Add up to another ½ cup water if needed to prevent drying. Uncover and allow any excess water to evaporate.
  • Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce. You'll need: ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese, and ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir the heavy cream into the cabbage, then add the cheeses. Stir until melted and the cabbage is evenly coated. No thickener is needed.
  • Assemble the Gratin. You'll need: ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese and ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
    Taste the cabbage mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer to a lightly greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top.
  • Bake Until Golden. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. For a more golden-brown topping, optionally broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
