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!

    Just finished half tomorrow’s dinner is ready! Wow. So good for “cuisine.” We have a great Italian market here so was able to get really fresh dill they also have a big nursery). As I didn’t want to go to a big store I picked up a four-cheese Italian blend they sell for the topping. I recommend it!! I added more dill (bc duh fresh dill in NY!) and used one green onion which is more than suggested. But I’ve heard you can grow new onions from the toot end so here how’s my windowsill experiment!!

    Very nice, easy to prepare recipe that I made today for dinner. A few alterations based on previous reviews… I increased the dill & scallions. For the cheese, I used Comte, which gave a bolder flavor. Also added a teaspoon of grainy mustard to the egg mixture. Loved the puffy top over a very creamy bottom. Served the dish as a side to grilled bratwurst.

    Made this tonight and everyone loved it. Cut back on the dill because we used dried instead of fresh. Nice to find new recipes using cabbage.

    Hi Natasha,
    I made this for lunch, with minor substitutions, as I didn’t have some of the ingredients. It was very tasty
    I was wondering if you think it would work with shredded potato instead of cabbage?
    Thank you.

      Hi Rita, I have not tested that with shredded potato but it sounds like a wonderful idea. You may need to increase bake time with potatoes. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.

      Hi Kate, I haven’t tried that but I would be concerned that the cabbage would get juicy from the salt in the recipe if kept unbaked overnight.

    I read all these 5 star comments but was a bit disappointed when I made the casserole myself. It’s pretty bland, just not enough flavor for me. It needs something.

      Hi Lana, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it. This has been a well-loved recipe by readers. Did you possibly change, substitute or omit anything? Also, make sure you don’t use too much cabbage or it may turn out bland if you don’t increase everything proportionally.

    Hi Natasha:) Do the leftovers from this recipe keep/reheat well? I’m eager to try it out, since I absolutely adore cabbage (and it’s budget-friendly too!) but as I’m only cooking for myself, I wanted to ask how you might reheat the leftovers (although to be honest I’d probably eat this cold too lol!)

        This recipe was fantastic! The grocery store only had red cabbage so I ended up buying a bag of pre-shredded green cabbage, and got distracted talking on the phone while making this (*facepalm*) so long story short I forgot to add the flour with the eggs and ended up just mixing it altogether with the cabbage in a bowl and then baking it off – and despite all that, it came out amazing!! This recipe is foolproof!

    Made it as per recipe and we liked it. Next time I’ll add more green onions and about a teaspoon of sugar to the cabbage. Being of east European background we love cabbage and always added a bit of sugar to enhance flavor. Served this with kielbasa and it was a great accompaniment!

        Chives, while in the onion family, are different than Green Onions. Scallions and Green Onions are the same thing with different names. https://www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/what-are-chives-green-onions-scallions
