Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Cut the green cabbage into eight wedges, keeping the core intact for stability.
  3. In a preheated cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the cabbage wedges for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Lower the heat, add butter, and sauté red onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and whisk in cream cheese until melted, forming a creamy sauce.
  6. Add heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and incorporated.
  8. Nestle the seared cabbage in the sauce, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Uncover, baste the cabbage with sauce, and bake for another 15-20 minutes until tender.
  10. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.
