Add water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, crumble and set aside. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Drain cabbage and transfer to a baking dish; drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and nutmeg. Cook under the preheated broiler until the top layer is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve with salt, pepper, and vinegar as desired.
