My Personal Experience

The first time I made Keto Savory Cabbage Pie, I was amazed at how such humble ingredients could create such a flavorful dish. I remember being skeptical about using cabbage as the main star, but it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The way the cheese melts and blends with the creamy filling, paired with the slight crunch of the cabbage, makes this pie irresistible. It’s become a family favorite, and even my non-keto friends ask for seconds!

Required Equipment

• Mixing Bowls: You’ll need at least two for preparing the filling and crust. I love how they make organizing ingredients so much easier.
• Whisk: Perfect for blending the eggs and cream. A good whisk ensures everything comes out silky smooth.
• Non-stick Frying Pan: For sautéing the cabbage. The way it softens and caramelizes is key to the recipe’s flavor.
• Pie Dish: The star of the show! I’ve found that a sturdy dish helps the pie cook evenly and come out beautifully.
• Spatula: Ideal for transferring and spreading the filling. It’s like your extra helping hand in the kitchen.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Cabbage (3 cups, shredded): The heart of the dish. If cabbage isn’t your favorite, you can substitute it with zucchini or spinach.
• Eggs (4 large): They act as a binder for the filling. For a fluffier pie, you can add an extra egg.
• Heavy Cream (1/2 cup): Adds richness to the filling. Coconut cream can work as a dairy-free alternative.
• Cheddar Cheese (1 cup, shredded): Brings a sharp, cheesy flavor. You can substitute with mozzarella or Gouda for a milder taste.
• Almond Flour (1/2 cup): Used for the crust. Coconut flour can be an alternative, but use less as it’s more absorbent.
• Butter (2 tbsp): Enhances flavor and helps sauté the cabbage. Ghee or coconut oil are great substitutes.
• Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning. Adjust to taste.
• Garlic Powder (1 tsp): Adds a subtle kick. Fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.

How to Make Keto Savory Cabbage Pie

Prepare the Cabbage

1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
2. Add the shredded cabbage and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then set aside to cool.

Make the Crust

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and a pinch of salt.
2. Add one egg and mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough evenly into a greased pie dish to form the crust.
4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Let it cool.

Prepare the Filling

1. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
2. Stir in the shredded cheese and sautéed cabbage.

Assemble the Pie

1. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Tips for This Recipe

• For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the crust for a few minutes longer before adding the filling.
• Sauté the cabbage until lightly browned for a richer flavor.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for a subtle warmth that complements the cheese.
• Use parchment paper on the pie dish if you’re worried about sticking.

Optional Additions

• Bacon Bits: Add cooked bacon for a smoky twist.
• Chopped Herbs: Fresh parsley or chives can brighten up the flavors.
• Extra Cheese: Sprinkle some Parmesan on top before baking for a crispy topping.
