Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 small head of cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook until it has wilted and softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
- Unroll one of the pie crusts and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust that hangs over the edges.
- Spread half of the cheese mixture onto the bottom of the pie crust.
- Add the cabbage and onion mixture on top of the cheese.
- Spread the remaining cheese mixture on top of the cabbage.
- Unroll the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Press the edges of the crusts together to seal.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice and serve the Russian cabbage pie hot or cold.
