Cabbage Baked in Cream
Cream, cheese and buttered breadcrumbs turn simple cabbage into a warm, comforting side dish. Wendy Tully’s Cabbage Baked in Cream, contributed to the Tully Family Cookbook, is a lovely example of old-fashioned family cooking where humble vegetables are made generous enough for the table. The finely cut cabbage is briefly cooked, baked with eggs, cream, seasoning and cheese, then finished with buttered crumbs until lightly golden. It is well suited to Sunday lunch, roast dinners or any family meal that needs a rich, cosy vegetable side.
