Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cabbage into four thick (½-inch) slices, removing any tough core pieces. Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides generously with olive oil.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and egg (if using). Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a patty and place on top of each cabbage slice.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the cabbage is tender.

Step 6

(Optional) Sprinkle shredded cheese over each burger and broil for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 7

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
