7

Add cabbage and season with black pepper

8

Spoon the melted butter into a separate heat resistant bowl and whisk in the cornstarch, then whisk in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, reserving the rest

Return this to the remaining milk, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently

15

Remove saucepan from heat, season sauce to taste, with white pepper, and salt if needed

16

Remove and discard bay leaf and cloves

17

Immediately put a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming

18

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

19

Stir enough of the sauce and reserved Parmesan into the corned beef/cabbage mixture to bind into a thick mixture
