Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium white cabbage
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • pinch of cayenne

For the Topping

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
  • Once the beef is browned, add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and starts to brown slightly.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cabbage and ground beef in the skillet, making sure to cover the surface.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the mixture is set.
  • Let the gratin cool for 5-10 minutes before serving directly from the skillet. Enjoy!
