Description

This rich and indulgent bake combines salty bacon with green cabbage and plenty of cheddar.

Method

Step 1 of 5

Preheat a large skillet set to medium heat for 1 minute. Add in the diced bacon rashers cooking for 5 minutes until the fat is rendered and the bacon is starting to crisp up. Add in the onions cooking for 5 minutes until starting to brown. Mix in the cabbage in batches until the cabbage has wilted.

Step 2 of 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pot onto the stovetop set to medium heat, add the butter stirring until melted. Stir in the flour using a wooden spoon, cooking for 1 minute scraping the sides of the pot to keep the flour from burning.

Step 3 of 5

Remove from the heat, slowly whisking in the milk until smooth. Return to low heat for 2 minutes before whisking in half of the shredded cheese mixing until smooth.

Step 4 of 5

Season the cheese sauce before adding the sauce to the pan with the bacon and cabbage coating with the sauce. Pour into a medium baking dish topping with the remainder of the shredded cheese.

Step 5 of 5

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven letting the gratin cool for 20 minutes before portioning.
