Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice a small head of cabbage into ½ inch thick rounds and brush both sides with olive oil.

In a large bowl, mix ground meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Add egg if using.

Form patties from the meat mixture and place them on each cabbage slice, pressing down gently.

Bake for 25 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the cabbage is tender.

Broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, if desired.

Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve hot with your favorite condiments.
