1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
450ml (3/4 pint) semi-skimmed milk
2 x 40g packs Cheddar cheese sauce mix
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard (optional)
Ground black pepper
40g mature reduced fat Cheddar cheese, grated
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Put 4 individual heatproof dishes or one large baking dish in the grill compartment, to warm.
Cook the cauliflower in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain thoroughly, reserving 150ml (¼ pint) of the cooking liquid. Share the cauliflower between the warm dishes or put it into one large dish.
Mix together the reserved cooking liquid with the milk. Follow the pack instructions to make the cheese sauce with the milk mixture. Remove from the heat and add the mustard (if using), then season with some pepper.
Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve at once.
Tip 1: Serve the cauliflower cheese with slices of wholemeal bread to mop up the cheese sauce.

Tip 2: Next time, make cauliflower and broccoli cheese, by using equal quantities of cauliflower and broccoli.
