Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Remove the core from the cabbage, separate the leaves and blanch them for 5 minutes in boiling salted water, then drain.
  2. Fry the bacon cut into cubes with the sliced onion in butter until golden.
  3. Roughly chop the cabbage leaves and mix them with the bacon and onion.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  5. Butter an ovenproof dish, spread half the cabbage, pour over the egg mixture, then top with the remaining cabbage.
  6. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until the center is set and the top is nicely golden. Let rest 10 minutes before serving with the potatoes.

Variations and tips

Light version. Replace the bacon with smoked turkey bacon bits and the cream with fromage blanc.
