-
3 green onions, chopped (greens and white parts)
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon pepper
-
⅔ cup gluten-free flour or regular flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
3–4 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
-
Optional: ½ cup grated cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, etc.)
-
-
For the Dill Sauce:
-
⅓ cup light sour cream
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons chopped dill
-
A pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions
-
Prepare the Cabbage:
-
Shred the cabbage thinly and chop the green onions. Place them in a large bowl.
-
Tip: To make slicing easier later, cut any long cabbage pieces in half across the shredded pieces with a knife.
-
-
Make the Egg Mixture:
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and onions, tossing it to combine.
-
-
Add Dry Ingredients:
-
Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the cabbage mixture and toss again to ensure everything is evenly combined.
-
-
Cook the Cabbage Pie:
-
Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet (9-10 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly and pressing it down with a spatula.
-
Reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and cook for about 15 minutes or until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
-
-
Flip the Pie:
-
Once the bottom is golden and crispy, use a spatula to loosen the cabbage pie from the pan. Place a large plate or chopping board over the skillet and carefully flip the pan upside down, letting the pie transfer to the plate.
-
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, swirl it around, and then slide the cabbage pie back into the pan, uncooked side down. Cook uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until a golden crust forms on the other side.
-
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the pie once flipped and let it melt into the crust.
-
-
Prepare the Dill Sauce:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
-
Serve:
-
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving and cutting. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or dill if desired.
-
Serve a dollop of dill sauce on the side for dipping.
