It’s a very simple dish that sounds quite bland but I found it good for a side dish. For a entree you could always step it up with some additions. I’ll be making it again
This was good and I added no cheese. I had a very small cabbage so the onion ratio was probably higher but I cut the milk to 1 cup and the eggs to 3 to compensate. I cooked the onions separately and carmelized them. I think the cracker crumbs may be making it bland for some because I didn’t use them and it was flavorful. Also added a little garlic powder and lemon pepper seasoning. If you’re going to add a crumb topping I’d try a half and half bread crumb and Parmesan cheese. I also don’t think Italian seasoning would compliment the cabbage.
Haven’t tasted it yet, but from reading other posts it was bland, so I added an apple and frozen cranberries and a spice mix. I made bread crumbs instead of cracker crumbs and cheese. It won’t let me post without rating, so I’ll guess a 4.
Make this all the time..I dont add milk. Add velveta cheese and sharp chedder cheese..
after reading the comments I added the cheese. I am not a big cabbage fan but this was great. I will make this again. Had no problem with the eggs scrambling as one reader had. This is like quiche.
I think it is not necessary to do the baking part. I like cabbage and onions steamed/sauteed until tender with some salt and pepper added. Requires less time and is just as good. I added some fresh basil and rosemary herbs that I had on hand. Th
I made this recipe as written with a couple of minor changes due to our diet, I used crushed cornflakes instead of bread crumbs as our family is gluten free, and used olive oil instead of butter, almond milk instead of regular milk due to we limit our dairy as well. I am a cabbage enthusiast so I loved it (I usually just eat it steamed with olive oil/salt/pepper), My husband whom doesn’t care for it as much even enjoyed this recipe as did the kids who normally complain. I see that some have added cheese and whatnot but I feel if you truly love cabbage, these additions would just cover up the flavor of it. So if you are a cabbage lover, make it as is!!! Thank you for the great recipe GrammyRose! I will make this again, and again 🙂
I made this for the first time today, to go with meatloaf. I used ritz crackers, and added a large can of corn, just because I like corn with meatloaf. It’s very good. Next time I will probably add more crumbs on top, but i will definately make again. Thanks for the recipe.
Husband really loved this. I had a problem the first time with the eggs scrambling. Thank goodness for Reviews and thank you! Problem solved with the tempering. Second time I added some ham pieces that I had in the freezer and it became the main dish and was great.
Made this just as directed, but added some pinko bread crumbs as well as crackers. It was a little bland. Next time I would add some Parmesan cheese or maybe even some cubed ham.
A tasty, easy, and inexpensive side dish. I added a little nutmeg and used Ritz crackers instead of saltines. Several reviewers mentioned that they added cheese, but I think that would make this way too rich.
I’ve made this about 4 times now. Once just as written and the other times with a few variations. As written we found it to be a little bland. I now add chopped bacon, potatoes (to feed a bigger crowd), and I add a few cloves of garlic with the onions. Today I’m adding cheese to see how that goes. My changes definitely don’t help in the calorie department, but sometimes – I just want to splurge!
Awesome! Thought it needed just a few more additions and followed reviewers suggestion of Italian seasoning and low fat cheese. Drizzled with EVOO instead of dotting with butter. Keeper!
Love it! We make this for church potlucks – cheap, easy, and filling! I add about 1 1/2 c. cheddar/parmesan blend (or whatever) before putting it in the oven. Always a hit!
With summer here and so much cabbage it is always nice to have some other options in recipes. This one is definitly a keeper. We did use italian bread crumbs as suggested and also added French’ fried onions…yum!!!
This was FANTASTIC!!! My four young kids who usually HATE cabbage all love this recipe! The only changes I made to the recipe were to add all the cracker crumbs to the mixture and then a few minutes before it is done baking, I add a can of french fried onions to add some extra crunch on top. Great recipe that has become a staple in our household!
This was so good. Didn’t have crackers so used italian bread crumbs instead. Thanks for a great recipe!
Not really that great. It was pretty soggy and bland. My husband didn’t like at all. I won’t be making it again.
This was a very easy and delicious recipe. I followed other reveiwers’ advice and used cheese and italian breadcrumbs. I also added chopped broccoli and diced ham to turn it from a sidedish into a casserole.
Forgot the salt & pepper, but still really tasty. Used bread crumbs (instead of saltines) & added 3 ozs cheddar cheese. David liked too!
This recipe needs no help-it is delicious the way it is! Cabbage, onions, butter, salt and pepper (not to mention the yummy eggs, milk, and cracker crumbs!)-what’s bland about that? Cabbage alone has a strong taste! This recipe is yummy and as most recipes suggest, add salt and pepper to taste! Don’t be afraid to try this recipe as submitted without all the suggested tweeks. Besides, the original recipe is a very budget-friendly dish-all the tweeks just make it more expensive AND more fattening!
