Cauliflower cheese is one of my favourites, so I've created this healthier version. The sauce is really versatile and can be used with many different vegetables; use over broccoli or leeks as a vegetable accompaniment with a larger meal.

Method

Put the cauliflower into boiling water in a saucepan. Bring the water back to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and place it in an ovenproof dish.
Mix the cornflour with a little of the milk to form a paste.
Put the remaining milk into a saucepan and heat until boiling. Add the cornflour paste, stirring until the milk thickens into a sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in half the cheese and the mustard.
Pour over the cauliflower and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.
Grill until golden and bubbling.
