Im guessing the egg is to help keep the stuffing together so it doesnt fall apart as you bite into the cabbage...My family and I made our own stuffed cabbage since were vegetarians (we use tofu and other items in lieu of meat) and I dont think wed mind the falling apart since were not too keen on using eggs very much either, but thats something worth noting and to try in the future. Note that using tofu in lieu of meat does add more water/soupy quality, but it still turns out delicious. Weve also made a version of stuffed cabbage with an Asian twist (used a type of soy sauce base rather than tomato soup) and instead of cooking it in the sauce, its more of a dipping sauce/to your own preference.

For more taste put saurkraut on the top and tomato sauce over everything. If you don't want it to burn had a small amount of liquid. Mine are the only ones I like because everyone elses is so "blah", my grandmother taught me to make these.

Could this be baked in the oven? I think the bottom cabbage rolls would burn on my stovetop, even on low.

If you layer the out side leaves from the head of cabbage, on the bottom of your pan, the rolls should not burn.

My mother always did it on top of the stove she would put a saucer in the bottom and line the cabbage rolls on top of it
