Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 500 g 17.6 oz potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 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
 

Prepare the Potatoes:

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

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.

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.

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.

Add the Eggs & Cheese:

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

Bake to Perfection:

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

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.
