Ingredients
- 1/2 head cabbage cut into 4 wedges
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to season
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F(200°C).
- Cut the cabbage in half, then into 4 wedges each, about 1 1/2 inches thick, keeping the core intact.
- Add chopped bacon to an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook until just slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Arrange the cabbage wedges in the hot bacon grease in the skillet. Sear for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes. Both sides should develop nice golden brown color. If there’s a lot of bacon grease remaining in the pan, remove it before proceeding.
- Pour the heavy cream over the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the bacon pieces over the top. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Then add the thyme sprigs.
- Bake the cabbage for 20 minutes, until fork tender and the cream is thick and bubbly.
