Cabbage And Bacon Gratin





2 slices streaky bacon
1 Tbsp Cream
1 Tbsp Parmesan
1 Tbsp Cream Cheese
1/2 cup grated cheddar
1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 head cabbage
1/4 cup broth
1/2 Tbsp Butter
Garlic
Salt & Pepper
1. Chop the cabbage into half inch strips and add to a pan of boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender and almost cooked through. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over a medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp and golden brown all over. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. To prepare the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat. Mince the garlic and add to the pan, sweating gently until tender.
5. Add the cream cheese, Parmesan, stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for a minute or two until you have a thick and creamy sauce.
6. Arrange the cooked cabbage across a sheet pan. Crumble the cooked bacon over the cabbage and season with a little salt and pepper.
7. Spoon the cheese sauce over the cabbage and bacon and sprinkle over the cheddar cheese.
8. Transfer to the oven to bake for 18 minutes or until hot through and golden brown all over.
