1 Prepare the broth, if necessary. Then, melt the butter in a large pot. Add the cabbage and salt to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the broth, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3 Place 4 slices of bread in the bottom of a deep 3-quart ovenproof Dutch oven or deep, heavy pot or baking dish. Cover with half of the cabbage and one third of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of bread, cabbage, and cheese. Top with the remaining bread. Carefully pour on the hot broth. Tear the reserved cheese into bits and scatter it on top of the soup.
4 Bake the casserole until browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
