How to Make Baked Cabbage Nest Burgers:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. Mix the cabbage nests:
    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, eggs, cheese, seasonings, and almond flour or breadcrumbs if using. Mix until everything is well coated and slightly sticky.
  3. Form the nests:
    Scoop the mixture into small piles on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly and use your fingers or a spoon to form a shallow “nest” shape with a slight indentation in the center.
  4. Bake the nests:
    Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the nests are golden brown and set. Let them cool slightly to firm up.
  5. Prepare your burger patties:
    While the nests are baking, cook your burger patties in a pan or on the grill to your desired doneness.
  6. Assemble your burgers:
    Place a cooked patty on each cabbage nest and top with cheese and your favorite toppings. Serve open-faced or with another cabbage nest on top as a “bun.”
