Separate the inflorescences and boil the cabbage in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Pour in a mixture of kefir (it goes well with cabbage) and eggs. You can add a little boiled chicken fillet.
- White cabbage is also baked, but it is better to do it together with minced chicken. Cabbage is placed raw. It is advisable to chop it finely.

Mix with flour and parsley and dill. Sprinkle cheese on top and, if desired, beat a raw egg there. You don’t have to grate the zucchini, but cut it into slices, add salt and let it brew. Place a baking dish on the bottom, pour the filling on top, then add tomatoes and herbs. Add the egg and unsweetened yogurt mixture again.
