Q&A

Can I bake this instead of frying?

Yes—bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning.

Can I make it gluten-free?

Yes—use almond flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

Why is my cabbage pie falling apart?

Usually too much moisture—squeeze cabbage lightly before mixing.

Can I make it ahead?

Yes—store in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat in a pan for crispiness.

Can I add protein?

Yes—add cheese, cooked chicken, or even tuna for a fuller meal.

💡 Pro Tip

Let it rest 5 minutes after cooking—this helps it set and slice cleanly without breaking.
