These cabbage pancakes are a quick and delicious savory treat, perfect for a light meal or snack. Made with thinly sliced cabbage, eggs, and cheese, they come together easily in one bowl and cook up crispy in a skillet. Enjoy them warm topped with sour cream for a comforting bite.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cabbage (about 3 ½ cups, sliced like coleslaw)
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste, up to 1 teaspoon)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅓ cup green onions (sliced thinly)
  • ½ cup grated cheese (Monterey, mild cheddar, or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Slice the cabbage: Use a mandoline to slice the cabbage thinly for even cooking and texture. Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix ingredients: Add the eggs, salt, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, green onions, and grated cheese to the bowl with the cabbage. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet on medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to warm up until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Scoop about ¼ cup of the cabbage mixture into the skillet for each pancake. Press down lightly to form a compact patty. Cook for 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
  5. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 4 minutes on the second side, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning. Add a little more oil if the skillet gets dry.
  6. Serve hot: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite topping.

Notes

  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend as indicated.
  • Adjust salt according to your taste preferences, but avoid exceeding 1 teaspoon to keep the dish balanced.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
  • These pancakes are best served hot and fresh for a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Feel free to swap the cheese for your favorite variety or omit it for a milder flavor.
