Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add the cauliflower and cook for 5 mins.
Step 2
Drain the cauliflower, then tip into an ovenproof dish
Step 3
Heat oven to 220C/200C/gas 7
Step 4
Put the saucepan back on the heat and add the milk, flour and butter. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil – the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.
Step 5
Turn off the heat, stir in most of the cheese and pour over the cauliflower. Scatter over the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Pop in the oven the Cauliflower cheese and bake for 20 mins until bubbling.
