Tell Me About This Cabbage Au Gratin Recipe
Most Recipes: Most gratin recipes typically have a breadcrumb mixture on top and bottom, and even some flour added. This one does not. Our version is gluten-free, just like our cabbage and ground beef recipe, and this too is absolutely–positively delicious!
The Flavor: Let’s face it, cabbage can be bland. So to further enhance its flavor, we also added grated Parmesan cheese both on the bottom and on top of the dish to give it extra flavor and richness. Plus, the spices add additional flavor.
The Texture: The cabbage becomes soft and creamy, with a zesty savory taste, making it a perfect accompaniment to your favorite entrees. We served it at dinner with our oven-baked brisket and it was amazing. Our family loved it!
Let’s Discuss the Ingredients:
- The Mixture: For our recipe, you’ll need one medium head of green cabbage and a few green onions. These vegetables can be easily mixed in a bowl with 2 eggs, some heavy cream, and shredded cheeses.
- The Spices: Additionally, you’ll want to add a few spices, including nutmeg, cardamom, and cayenne pepper, along with some salt and black pepper. These ingredients combined will make this cabbage gratin taste AMAZING!
QUICK NOTE: There is some flour in the photo (X) – but we decided not to add it into this recipe. And, it turned out great!

Quick Notes & Tips:
- When the cabbage gratin comes out of the oven, it will still be bubbling, and it’s best to give it a few minutes to rest before serving.
- You can use a knife to slice it, or a small spatula to serve.
- Also, you may add your favorite bread crumbs to this cabbage au gratin recipe on the bottom and top. They will give the dish the crispiness and crunch you would expect. But, we felt it was delicious without them.
- Keep in mind that all ovens, gas and electric, are different. Therefore, the baking time will vary. So keep an eye on the gratin toward the end of its estimated time.
