Perfectly Savory Cabbage Filling

If you already know your way around sautéed cabbage, here’s my personal approach:

Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and sauté chopped onions until soft.

Add grated carrots and a small knob of butter—cook until everything is tender and fragrant.

Season with salt, pepper, and dried garlic, then mix in the shredded cabbage.

Let the cabbage soften to your liking—I find that about 15 minutes gives it the perfect texture for this pie.

Once slightly cooled, mix the cabbage with chopped boiled eggs and fresh herbs. The filling is now ready!

Quick & Fluffy Batter

For the dough, combine:

Sour cream with a spoonful of mayonnaise (optional—you can stick to just sour cream)

2 eggs

A pinch of salt and sugar

A splash of vegetable oil

Next, gradually add sifted flour with baking powder, stirring until you get a smooth, pourable batter—it should be a bit runnier than pancake batter.

Assembling & Baking

Grease your baking pan with butter, and for extra texture, sprinkle in a bit of semolina.

Pour half the batter into the pan.

Spread the cabbage filling evenly over the top.

Cover with the remaining batter and smooth it out.

For a golden crust, brush the surface with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, adjusting for your oven.

A Pie That’s Always a Hit

Once out of the oven, the aroma is irresistible! Mine developed a little crack on top, but that didn’t affect the flavor one bit. If you want a flawless finish, just Ensure that everything is at room temperature before you begin mixing.

This pie is soft, hearty, and bursting with flavor. If you haven’t tried this method yet—now’s the time!
