Russian Cabbage Pie

Russian Cabbage Pie features a flaky, golden yeasted puff pastry wrapped around a tender filling of buttery cabbage, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill. The flavors are savory and herbaceous with a gentle sweetness from the slow-cooked cabbage, making it comforting yet light. Serve it warm for dinner or as a brunch centerpiece alongside a crisp salad.

Russian Cabbage Pie
  1. 1

    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the cabbage and cook until it softens but does not brown, about 30 minutes. Take off the heat and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Combine the cooled cabbage with the hard-boiled eggs and dill. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Line a pie plate with 1 sheet of puff pastry. Spoon in the cabbage filling, leaving a border around the edge. Top with the second sheet of puff pastry and pinch the edges together. Brush the top with beaten egg.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
