Cauliflower Cheese with a kick...

One of my favourite dishes... a family favourite comfort food.

Steam your cauliflower and place in a shallow oven proof dish... for the kick (metabolism starter)I add a very light dusting of cayenne pepper to the top of the cauliflower before adding the cheese sauce... this step can be left out if the kids don't like the kick.
In another saucepan you will need to make a white sauce to which we will add cheese to turn it into a cheese sauce by bringing to the simmer about a litre of milk, about 50 grams of butter, fresh cracked pepper and salt. Just before boiling point very gradually add about 6 teaspoons of cornflour that you dissolved into a slurry with a little cold milk. Stop adding when your sauce has reached a nice thickness... continue to stir for about one minute while cooking the cornflour through and then remove from the heat.
While still hot add about a cup full of grated cheeses of your choice... I have used Parmesan, tasty and a little mozzarella.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top of the cauliflower making sure to cover it all completely... sprinkle the top with a little good quality breadcrumb and more of the grated cheeses and bake until golden brown.
