How to prepare Baked Gratinated Cabbage

To make baked gratinated cabbage, first remove the outer leaves of the cabbage 1, then cut it into slices about 3/4 inch wide 2. Rinse the cabbage well under running water 3.

Sauté the whole garlic cloves in a large pan with a drizzle of oil 4, then add the cabbage 5. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes with the addition of half a glass of water so that it is slightly brothy, stirring often 6.

In the meantime, cut the ham into cubes 7 and place it in a mixer along with the Emmentaler cheese 8, then blend to chop everything finely 9.

When the cabbage has wilted 10, pour almost all of it into a 8x12 inch baking dish, making sure to cover the bottom 11. Cover with the ham and cheese mixture 12.

Add the remaining cabbage 13 and cook in a preheated static oven at 400°F for 15 minutes 14. Meanwhile, cut the bread into chunks 15.

Transfer the bread to a mixer along with the diced Parmigiano Reggiano PDO 16 and blend coarsely 17. Once the cooking time is up, take the baking dish out and distribute the bread and Parmigiano Reggiano PDO mix on the surface 18.

Drizzle with a bit of oil 19 and bake again in convection mode at 430°F for 5 minutes. When it is well golden 20, your baked gratinated cabbage is ready to be served 21!
