This savory Cabbage Casserole is a cozy winter treat. The consistency is similar to a quiche with a creamy cabbage center, fresh herbs and an irresistible crust. The golden cheesy crust takes this over the top with a slight cheese pull when it’s hot and fresh out of the oven.

We serve this with a hefty dollop of sour cream. My husband eats slices like he does pizza which makes me all giddy because it’s just a glorious slice of vegetables – YES!!

This cabbage casserole pie is everything I love about Ukrainian and Russian recipes – using simple, basic, inexpensive ingredients to make something completely delicious. 

My Mom found this recipe idea on Youtube and made it for a family dinner. Everyone was smitten and we adopted it quickly!

I love how it poofs up out of the oven and the filling is just as tempting as the crust. MMMM mm!

    dear natasha,

    i just made this casserole, and it’s delightful! i was so nervous because i’d never made a casserole before, and i had to make a few substitutions since i didn’t have all of the ingredients. ie: for sour cream i used 1/4 cup full fat cottage cheese + a tiny bit of cream of tartar, and for fresh dill, i used a sprinkle of dry dill and basil.

    i took a picture because i’m so happy with the way it looks and tastes! https://i.imgur.com/yPigUX2.jpg

    thank you so much! have a wonderful day <3

    A little miscommunication between me and hubby, and we ended up having 3 giant cabbages in the fridge. Looked up some recipes, read reviews and decided yours looks and “tastes” the best. Clear step-by-step pictures, complete with mass conversion (I live in France) sure makes the recipe easier to follow. A little “problem” in the preparation as the weights are mentioned again, but this time no conversion, only to find out it was the whole ingredients lol. All in all, great recipe! And thank you for saving my cabbages! <3

      Hi Andrea, I haven’t noticed any overly eggy flavor. It does have an egg based batter but I wouldn’t say it’s overly eggy.

    Hi there….could I just use self raising flour instead of the combination of flour, baking powder and corn starch? Thanks.

      Hi Pauline, I haven’t tried that substitution so it is difficult to guess but it sounds like it could work. I don’t believe self rising flour has corn starch in it though – so you would be missing that component. If you experiment, let me know how it goes 🙂

    Made this for supper. My husband is on his 3rd slice. The only thing I did different was I added garlic and browned turkey sausage. Very filling and flavorful and 7 SP if on weight watchers. Definitely making again

    I made this today for breakfast after craving it everyday since you posted this, didn’t have green onion so I sautéed regular onion, and didn’t have the cornstarch, also I probably used a little more salt, it turned out delicious.. satisfied my cravings.. such an easy but yummy dish. Thanks again.

          Hi Natalie, the salt will soften the cabbage and cause it to release more liquid as it stands – for that reason, I don’t think it is a good option to make it ahead before baking. It does reheat well though.

    Hi Natasha, I enjoy your blog- especially your Ukranian and Russian recipes. I would like to know what this recipe is called in Ukranian.
    I made it for dinner tonight and my family and I really enjoyed the dill. My only change was to substitute Gruyere cheese for the mozzarella because that is what was in my kitchen. But even with the stronger flavored cheese, this was really good. My husband commented that you know it’s good when he DIDN’T feel the need to douse it with hot sauce, like he does just about everything else!
    Thanks for sharing it.

    I have made this twice. Sorry but I threw the first batch in the trash and think maybe I used TOO much cabbage. Tonight I made again and used less cabbage (4 cups) and let it soften longer. I also added garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and old bay seasoning. It is a beautiful presentation and much more flavor then first try. However unless I put a ton of sour cream on I don’t feel this dish. Sorry it is probably just me. Love your recipes but this one is just not a winner. Maybe I did something wrong..

      Hi Kathy, when we make it per the recipe, we love the simplicity of the flavors and feel they work well together. It could be the modifications? It will definitely seem more bland if there is too much cabbage. Also, you don’t want it to stand and soften for too long or it will release more liquid. I hope that’s helpful.
