  • Grate the cheese.
  • Put the tomato sauce in a flat baking dish.
  • Place the savoy cabbage leaves on the work surface with the point forward. Put 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture on the leaves and roll up. Place the rolls in the tomato patch.
  • Sprinkle the tree frogs with the cheese and bake for about 20 minutes.
