Description
A golden, pan-fried cabbage pie with a crispy crust and tender interior, served with a tangy dill cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ medium cabbage (shredded finely, about 1 lb.)
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅔ cup flour (regular or gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3–4 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Optional: ½ cup grated cheese (such as Cheddar or Mozzarella)
- ⅓ cup light sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper (for sauce)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped green onions.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and onions, tossing to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the cabbage mixture, folding gently until well combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 9-10 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture, spreading it evenly and pressing down with a spatula. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the pie: place a large plate over the skillet, invert the pie onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet. Add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Cook uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the other side is golden and crispy.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it over the pie after flipping, allowing it to melt.
- While the pie cooks, prepare the dill cream sauce by mixing the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve with the dill cream sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
- Cheese is optional but adds richness and flavor.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Great for meal prep or next-day leftovers.
