INGREDIENT NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- We have to use heavy cream to create a thick texture and an indulgent taste. Switch it out with mascarpone, high-fat evaporated cream, or coconut cream.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese will give a stretchy topping and a gooey texture. We can also use Monterey Jack, cheddar cheese, or Provolone cheese.
CABBAGE:
- Use cabbage to provide a mildly sweet taste and texture. As a replacement, you can use shirataki noodles, cauliflower florets, or zucchini slices.
GARLIC:
- We use garlic, as it will give a deep and aromatic flavor to this cabbage bake. Alternate it with shallots, garlic powder, or roasted garlic paste.
CHICKEN:
- Chicken is utilized to make this cabbage with a protein content. Use ground beef, turkey, or shrimp as an alternative.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- This cheese will create a thick and salty sauce for this cabbage bake. Instead, we can use Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, or Asiago cheese.
BUTTER:
- We have to utilize butter, as it will improve the flavor and provide nutritious fats. Alternatively, you may use ghee, coconut, or avocado oil.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese gives a thick and silky texture to the alfredo sauce. As a substitute, we might use high-fat Greek yogurt, mascarpone, or ricotta cheese.
