Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 1 large large green cabbage, chopped (about 6-7 cups)
  • 1 medium medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 large large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or feta recommended)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pie crust pie crust (store-bought) Store-bought for simplicity
For the Dill Cream Sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt) Greek yogurt option for a healthier twist
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped Or ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and let it sizzle for about a minute.
Cooking Cabbage
  1. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and cook until it wilts down, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then let it cool slightly.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the cooled cabbage mixture, breadcrumbs, and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Transfer the cabbage mixture into the pie crust and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
Dill Cream Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serving
  1. Once the pie is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle the dill sauce on top and serve.

Notes

Store-bought pie crust simplifies the process. Leftovers keep well in the fridge and taste better the next day. Feel free to add in other vegetables or cooked ground meat for a heartier meal.
