Escalloped Cabbage

Step-by-Step Instructions

. Follow these simple steps to make escalloped cabbage:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into wedges. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin strips.
3. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain the cabbage and set it aside.
4. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and begins to bubble.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it melts completely. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
7. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the cooked cabbage. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the cabbage. Repeat the layers with the remaining cabbage and sauce.
8. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the dish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the dish is heated through.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
