Ingredients

• 250 g cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese
• 1–2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the cabbage, grate the carrot, and chop the bell pepper.
2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat a little oil in a large frying pan. Add the grated carrot and bell pepper and sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened.
3. Add the cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Stir well and cook until the cabbage begins to soften.
4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, heavy cream, flour, and baking powder until smooth.
5. Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir to distribute everything evenly.
6. Cook: Season with a little additional salt if needed. Cover the pan and cook over low to medium heat for about 3 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set.
7. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the top. Cover again and cook until the cheese is completely melted.
8. Serve: Remove from the heat, slice into portions, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Cabbage Skillet

• Slice the cabbage very thinly so it cooks quickly and evenly.
• Cook over medium-low heat after adding the eggs to prevent the bottom from browning too quickly.
• Don’t add too much salt because mozzarella already provides some saltiness.
• For extra flavor, add black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs.
• Let the skillet rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing so it holds together better.
• You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or another melting cheese.
