Ingredients

• 2 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 1 medium (diced) Onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyere cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage and caraway seeds to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the milk and melted butter.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the sautéed cabbage mixture and the shredded Gruyere cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or side dish.
