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!

    This has become our favorite “clean out the frig” recipe. Today it had shredded summer squash, mushrooms, leftover frozen mixed vegetables, shallots, scallions, herbs from the garden: parsley, dill, Marjoram. Plus all the bits and bobs of cheese ends: motz, gruyere, and Swiss. No cabbage today but we love it that way too!

    We just love this recipe. So versatile and nutritious. I often use it for clean-out-the fridge leftovers. We have a large household so it’s easy to double or triple. Tastes good cold out of the fridge for a quick snack, transports well in a lunch tote.

    This is a great recipe. Yummy on its own, plus its versatile. I have made this with raw cabbage as the recipe states, and with leftover sauteed cabbage and shredded carrots, both with delicious results. I have also added chopped up bacon (cooked in advance), from time to time. Definitely a favourite of mine.

    I was looking forward to trying this recipe and was not disappointed. I did make some changes as follows.
    1/2 Cup of mayo-no sour cream
    almond flour instead of reg
    pkt of ranch dressing/dip mix instead of spices.
    i didn’t incorporate the cheese but just used on top. This recipe is a keeper. Wonderful.

    More flavor? Do you want salty or peppery? Loads of Garlic? Isn’t traditional Ukie cooking rather heavy on the salt?

    I looked at the recipe; I might leave out the corn starch and use less flour. Use fresh ground pepper (your mileage will vary), more dill, and garlic. I could also suggest using Hungarian buttermilk (or Bavarian buttermilk) instead of yogurt/mayo. Some mayonaisse can be rather bland. Personally I like Heinz mayo; it’s got a lemony tangy kick to it. Superb with french fries, BTW.

    My mother was ukranian, and I learned to use spices liberally, esp pepper.

    This was okay at the first eating, however the mozzeralla was flavorless and turned into a leathery cap. I replace the cheese with a monterey jack/gruyere mix upon reheating and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend using a more flavorful cheese. Will definitely make this again!

      I also like jack and gruyere (which is slightly more expensive). Mozz can become…leathery. There my be some add’l Euro cheese selections at your higher-end stores.

    Hello from Ukraine!
    Natasha, what cup do you use? A metric one (250 ml)? Or the US one (almost 240 ml)? Or does it not play any role?
    Just want to know for the future.
    Thank you so much for sharing the recipes of scrumptuous dishes, including Ukrainian ones!

      Hi Ivanka, I would go with the 240ml US measurement. On many of our recipes, if you click “metric” in the recipe card, it will show you the ingredient measurements in metric.

    This is great, even for non-cabbage lovers! Delicious! Minor correction: I did find that 1 1/2 cup cheese is 6 ounces. Or 4 ounces of cheese is 1 cup. So not sure what amount you really meant, but more cheese is usually better, anyway!!! I used chives instead of green onion, and no dill. YUM!

    Made this the other night. We’re lucky to have an amazing Italian market founded over100 years ago in our town (love Wegmans; avoiding Wegmans). They sell a 4-cheese blend I’d never purchased before. Mozzarella, Parmesan, Asiago & Reggiano. Wow.

    And I bet you could substitute asparagus, Brussels sprouts, even potatoes. Or parsnips. Or any veggie you have on hand. A keeper for sure!
