Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
2 slices Irish bacon, diced
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
0.5 cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

Place the cabbage in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
While the cabbage simmers, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned (about 8 minutes). Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels, then crumble and set aside.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
Drain the cooked cabbage and transfer it to a baking dish. Drizzle generously with melted butter and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and nutmeg.
Broil under the preheated broiler until the top is lightly browned and bubbly, around 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and vinegar to taste before serving.
