How to Make It
- Finely shred the cabbage and chop the green onions, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and toss until everything is coated.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl and gently mix until the cabbage is evenly coated.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture, spread it out evenly, and press it down lightly. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden and crisp.
- Use a spatula to loosen the pie, flip it onto a large plate, then add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Slide the pie back in with the uncooked side facing down. Cook uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until golden. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on after flipping.
- For the dill sauce, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Allow the cabbage pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve with the dill sauce spooned on top or on the side.
