Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart gratin dish. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes. Add the red pepper. Cook, stirring, until the pepper is tender and the onion is beginning to color, about five minutes. Stir in the cabbage, dill and paprika. Add salt to taste, and cook, stirring, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about five minutes. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and continue to cook for another five to 10 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Remove from the heat.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the eggs in a large bowl, and whisk in about ½ teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in the milk, and stir in the cabbage mixture and the cheese. Scrape into the baking dish.

  3. Step 3

    Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: You can make this through Step 1 hours or even a day before assembling and baking. The baked gratin will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, and it can be reheated in a medium oven.

I've made this many times, and much prefer it with smoked paprika instead of the sweet variety. It is delicious the next day as well.

I use double or triple the amount of fresh dill.

I really didn't like this recipe. I don't know if I did something wrong - maybe too much cabbage - but the eggs turned gray from the cabbage and the cabbage overly dominated the dish.

It would be helpful to see a picture of the completed dishes before making the recipes.

I also want to say this was the only time I've ever thrown away something I cooked, so beware.
