Method
- STEP 1
Simmer the cauliflower in boiling, salted water until just tender then leave to drain really well while you make the sauce.
- STEP 2
Melt the butter in a pan, stir in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time. Gradually add the milk, stirring until you have a smooth sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the mustard and cheese.
- STEP 3
Whizz the bread and sage together to make crumbs and stir in the parmesan.
- STEP 4
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the cauliflower with the sauce and tip into individual dishes (or one large baking dish). Sprinkle over the crumbs and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling. Serve with salad and crusty bread.
