Ingredients

  • 1 head cabbage (about 2 or 2-1/2 lbs)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon freshly ground coarse black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 12 cup grated swiss cheese
  • 23 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and cut the cabbage across into 1/2" slices.
  • Place the shredded cabbage in a pot, and add 2 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, for about 20 minutes.
  • By then the cabbage should be wilted and soft, but still a little firm, and most of the water should have evaporated.
  • If any water is left, keep cooking with the lid off until no water is visible and the cabbage is just moist.
  • Pour into a gratin dish and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, butter and Swiss cheese.
  • Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake for 25 minutes.
