80 millilitres light sour cream
12 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
13 -
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
14 -
Pinch of salt
15 -
Pinch of ground black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Finely shred the cabbage and chop the green onions, then place both into a large mixing bowl. For ease of serving, cut any extra-long cabbage strips in half.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the shredded cabbage and onions, tossing to thoroughly coat.
03 -
Sprinkle flour and baking powder over the cabbage mixture. Gently fold until all elements are combined and coated evenly.
04 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet (23–25 centimetres) over medium heat. Add the prepared mixture, spread into an even layer, and press down with a spatula. Lower heat to medium-low, cover with a lid or foil, and cook for approximately 15 minutes until the base is golden and crisp.
05 -
Using a spatula, loosen the pie from the pan edges. Invert onto a large plate or cutting board. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, then carefully slide the pie back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes more, until the second side is golden. If using cheese, sprinkle over the top after flipping and allow to melt.
06 -
In a small bowl, combine light sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and blended.
07 -
Allow the cabbage pie to cool for several minutes before slicing. Serve with dill cream sauce on the side or drizzled over individual portions. Garnish with additional dill or green onions as desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For easier flipping, ensure the pan is thoroughly oiled and the pie edges are loosened before inverting.
