Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups cooked cabbage about 1 small head
  • 3 slices bacon cooked crispy & crumbled
  • 2 Tbl. butter
  • 2 Tbl. flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Blanch cabbage for 15 minutes (or use leftover cooked cabbage). Shred. Meanwhile, cook 3 slices of bacon until crispy.
  • Butter a 2-quart casserole. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter, then whisk in flour. Stir continuously until thick and bubbly. Whisk in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer; stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes. Sauce will be thick, add a small amount of cream if too thick. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  • Layer half of the cabbage in prepared casserole. Sprinkle with half of the crumbled bacon and half of the Gruyere cheese. Spoon half of the white sauce over top; repeat with remaining cabbage, Gruyere and white sauce.
  • Combine panko and parmesan cheese and spread evenly on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
