## Ingredients

- 1 small head green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoon grated garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large scallions
- 1 (11-ounce package) baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 0.5 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 6 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 0.33 cup shredded smoked Cheddar cheese

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Remove and discard any damaged outer leaves from cabbage; trim off stem. Slice the cabbage vertically into 4 (1-inch-thick) steaks. Trim any excess core that is not holding the steaks together. Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Stir 2 tablespoons oil and ¼ teaspoon garlic together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the cabbage steaks with the oil mixture. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon oregano and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
2. Roast, rotating the pan from front to back and flipping the cabbage halfway through, until browned and tender, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt.
3. About 15 minutes before the cabbage is done, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add 11 ounces spinach, in batches; cook, stirring constantly, until wilted. Stir in 1 tablespoon dill, 1 tablespoon parsley, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, scallion greens and the remaining ½ teaspoon garlic and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in ½ cup ricotta and 6 tablespoons feta.
4. Increase oven temperature to broil. Spoon about ½ cup spinach mixture on top of each cabbage steak and top each with 1 heaping tablespoon Cheddar. Broil until the cheese melts and starts to lightly brown.
