Cheesy Cabbage Gratin
Description
This dish begins with halved cabbage wedges seasoned and roasted until tender and slightly caramelized. A cream sauce is prepared by whisking together heavy cream, minced garlic, ground nutmeg, smoked paprika, dried rosemary, and freshly grated Parmesan. Roasted cabbage wedges are arranged in a baking dish, coated with the cream sauce, and topped with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses along with fresh thyme sprigs.
The gratin is baked further until the cream thickens and the cheese topping melts, becoming lightly browned and bubbly. The roasting develops the cabbage's sweetness and tenderness, while the spiced cream sauce adds warmth and depth. The blend of three cheeses lends savory richness and a melty texture with a slightly crisp, golden surface.
Cheesy Cabbage Gratin can be served immediately as a hearty side dish complementing roasted meats or other main courses. Its combination of tender vegetable, creamy sauce, and browned cheese makes it appealing for cooler weather or when a comforting vegetable dish is desired. Fresh parsley and lemon wedges can be used as garnish to add brightness and color.
