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!

Cabbage Pie Photo Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375˚F and butter a 9″ pie dish.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add: 4 eggs, 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise and whisk to combine.

3. In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp corn starch. Whisk this flour mixture into the batter until smooth and set aside.

4. Place thinly sliced cabbage into a second medium mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Scrunch the cabbage for 30 seconds to soften it then stir in 2 Tbsp green onion and 2 Tbsp dill.


5. Spread cabbage mixture over the bottom of your 9″ pie dish and pour the batter evenly over the top. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and bake on the center rack at 375˚F for about 35 minutes or until top is golden brown.



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

This is delicious!! I made no changes.
Thanks for your good feedback, Kim!
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!
Yum! That sounds amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I made this tonight it was so good went by your reciepe but next time i want to try some cooked crumbled bacon and use pepper jack cheese you are one of my favorites love your site
Great idea! I’d love to know how you like it if you try that!
I do appreciate the nutrition info. I am cooking for a diabetic so the info is super helpful. Thanks so much.
I’m glad that’s helpful, Lynda! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Just love all your recipes- would love to see more of your heritage recipes, so many beautiful “old” recipes you have!! Thank you!!
Thank you for that wonderful feedback and suggestion.
This is the best cabbage pie recipe! Trust me, I’ve tried many and almost gave up. Lol. I added some green pepper because I had extra. It’s a great way to use up vegetables from the fridge.
Hi Ann, that is awesome feedback! Thank you so much for sharing that with us, I’m glad you found a recipe for cabbage casserole that you finally love!
Absolutely amazing! I love it. Only one question. May I use a Napa cabbage instead?
Thank you!
I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Hi Natasha!
I tried Napa cabbage and it cooked grate! Kids love this pie.
I only used less eggs and more sour cream instead. It worked very tasty. Thank you .
So good to know that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hello, can you make this without the flour?
Hi Natasha, my whole family loved the cabbage casserole! It was delicious!! I substituted the sour cream with an equal amount of coconut milk and a dash of lemon juice – didn’t have sour cream in the fridge… Thank you for sharing the recipe! So easy to make…
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for that wonderful review! Don’t you love easy recipes?
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It takes me back to my childhood when my mum used to make something very similar to get me to eat my veg!!
You are most welcome, Lyn!
Is this served as an entree or side dish?
Hi Ann, The recipe serves 6 as a side. You can use it as a side or an entree.
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.
Hello Tamela, thank you for your comments and feedback. Glad you loved this recipe!
I always have leftover cabbage after making bortsch and never know what to do with it. And this dish is a perfect solution! Made it today and loved it!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Natalia!
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.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us Bex! I’m happy you enjoyed that!
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.
Thank you for sharing that with us Cissy. I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
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!
Thank you for sharing that with us and for giving this recipe excellent feedback!
just finished this for dinner. we really liked it, its easy, and is a good way to use cabbage, which is popular in our family. served with pork pot stickers and would also be good with a ham! thanks for this, its a good one
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Can we double the recipe? If yes, are there any new specifications for it to work out?
Hi Marly, You would double everything in the recipe. It may take slightly longer to cook.
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!
So nice to know that, Lauren. I’m glad that you were able to give this recipe a try!
