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

Slice the cabbage into thick rounds, about ½ inch thick, and brush both sides with olive oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Optionally, add the egg.

Press a generous handful of the meat mixture onto each cabbage slice, shaping into patties.

Place the cabbage burgers on the lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until cooked through.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each patty and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.

Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve garnished with fresh parsley and your favorite dipping sauces.
