I'm not going to lie to you, these are some of the most moreish nibbles I’ve ever made. The crispy outside gives way to an absolutely filthy cheese and cauliflower molten middles. Give them a go.

Chop your cauliflower into florets. Boil or steam for 5 mins until totally tender. Allow to cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
Step 2.
Grate your cheddar.

Add half of your cheddar to a hot frying pan and fry until golden and crisp. Pour off the oil, then leave to cool.
Step 4.
Once cool, finely chop your golden cheesy crust into pieces.
Step 5.
Add your butter into a saucepan on a medium heat.
Step 6.
Once melted, tip in your flour and cook out for 5 mins. Gradually add your milk, whisking until you have a smooth sauce.
Step 7.
Bring your mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 mins until thickened. Add the remaining cheddar, the crispy chopped cheddar, cauliflower, nutmeg, and mustard, then stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
Step 8.
Pour into a wide dish to set in the fridge for 1 hour.
Step 9.
