- Green cabbage – Finely sliced for the best texture.

- Kosher salt – Draws out excess water in the shredded cabbage and helps to soften the cabbage.
- Green onions – Finely chopped to add to the cabbage mixture with extra to garnish the vegetarian cabbage bake.
- Fresh dill – Added to the cabbage mixture for fresh flavor.

🗒 Instructions

🥫 Storage
Store leftover green onion dill cabbage bake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat smaller portions in the microwave or larger portions in the oven.
You can freeze this brunch cabbage dish, although cabbage naturally holds a lot of moisture which can cause ice crystals to form. I don’t recommend freezing this country cabbage bake for longer than 1-2 months.
📚 Variations
- Sharp cheddar is a lovely alternative to mozzarella if you prefer a stronger flavor of cheese. Swiss, or Gruyère also melt beautifully and add a deliciously gooey, golden topping.
- To add more flavor, try using onion powder, garlic powder, or crushed red pepper flakes for a nice kick.
- Diced onion is a delicious vegetable to add to the cabbage mixture, if you like. Other veggie add-ins could include sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
- Fresh dill adds a pop of freshness, but you could also use parsley.
- You can use heavy cream instead of sour cream.
- Add extra crunch to this cabbage egg bake with a topping of crushed Ritz crackers, panko breadcrumbs, or even French fried onions.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- If you prefer the cabbage to be softer, lightly sauté, steam, or blanch it before baking.
- Cabbage can be a bit bland, so it’s key to pair it with rich flavors. That’s why I picked sour cream and mayonnaise for the sauce.
- You’ll know when this casserole is done baking by the top turning a golden brown and bubbling slightly.
- Allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes after baking to let the sauce thicken and flavors meld.

📞 Chiacchierata (chat)
And there you have it—Stella’s Country Cabbage Bake, lovingly passed down and cherished ever since that first unforgettable bite. I still remember sitting at her kitchen table, feeling full and amazed. I thought, “What did I just eat—and how can I get more?!” LOL. Luckily for me (and now you!), she scribbled the recipe on a notecard and told me to make it my own.
It’s a cavolo (cabbage) dish that feels like a warm abbraccio (hug) every time it comes out of the oven. You can serve it for brunch with friends, as a cozy side for dinner, or even sneak bites straight from the fridge (I’m guilty too!). It brings joy to your table, just like it has for ours.
Let me know if you try it—I’d love to hear how you serve it up! Buon appetito!
Tutti a tavolo, è pronto!
