Step by Step Method
Step 1
Separate the cauliflower into even sized florets, cutting round the core, then bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the cauliflower and boil for 8 minutes or until just tender and drain into a colander and allow to steam-dry.
Step 2
Shake the cauliflower if necessary to remove as much water from the crevices as you can and arrange in a large casserole dish.
Step 3
To make the sauce, pour the milk into a pan with the butter, bay leaves and cornflour, and heat gently, stirring all the times, until it thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Step 4
Remove the bay leaves, add 100 grams of the cheese and season to taste and then pour over the cauliflower and scatter with the remaining cheese,
Step 5
