Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Separate cabbage leaves and blanch for 5 minutes in the boiling water.
- Drain and squeeze hard in a clean cloth.
- Rub duck fat on the bottom and sides of a gratin dish.
- Layer the dish with 1/3 of the cabbage, 1/3 of the creme fraiche, 1/3 of the cheese and half the ham, adding pepper and a little salt as you go along (remember ham has salt already).
- Repeat the layers once, then cover with a last layer of cabbage and finish with the rest of the cheese and creme fraiche.
- Scatter with the breadcrumbs and drizzle with the remaining duck fat.
- Place the gratin dish on top of a baking tray to catch overflow and bake for 25 minutes until crust is golden and the gratin is bubbling at the edges.
- To serve, cut the layers with a sharp spoon.
