  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 400 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp wheat flour
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, shredded
  • A bunch of spring onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (Semmelbrösel)
  • Salt, to taste
  • A pinch of sugar
  • Herbs (parsley, thyme, or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Boil the sliced potatoes in salted water for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic until soft.
    • Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.

  3. Make the Creamy Sauce:

    • Heat the milk in a saucepan and whisk in the flour until thickened.
    • Add salt, sugar, and herbs, stirring for 3–5 minutes until smooth.

  4. Assemble the Casserole:

    • Grease a baking dish with butter.
    • Layer the potatoes, sautéed vegetables, sliced tomatoes, and spring onions.
    • Pour the creamy sauce over the layers.

  5. Add the Eggs & Cheese:

    • Crack the eggs on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
    • Finish with breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

  6. Bake to Perfection:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

  7. Garnish & Serve:

    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Make it vegetarian-friendly by skipping the eggs and adding more cheese and veggies.
  • Spice it up with paprika or chili flakes for a kick.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days—just reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • Perfect with a side salad or served with crusty bread for a complete meal.
