Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
First cook the cauliflower. In a pot of boiling water, boil the cauliflower pieces for about 3 minutes...you don't want them to cook fully, just until slightly tender. Drain well, and set aside.
Then make the roux: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then stir in the flour. Cook for about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the whole milk, and stir until thickened. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper and the dry mustard. Mix well.
Stir in the grated cheese until melted.
Add the cooked cauliflower pieces to a casserole dish, then pour on the cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the extra cheese over the top.
Bake for 40 - 45 minutes.
When done baking you may find the dish a bit watery, but just give it a good stir before serving and it will be nice and creamy.
