Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower (about 1kg/2lb 4oz), trimmed
  • 300g tub cheese sauce
  • 100g Swiss cheese such as Gruyère or emmental, grated
  • 25g toasted hazelnuts , crushed
  • 50g fresh breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Heat the grill to high. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, break the cauliflower into even-sized florets. Drop into the pan and boil for about 7 mins, or until very tender.
  • Heat the cheese sauce either in the microwave on High for 1 min or in a small pan until heated through, but not boiling. Place the cheese, hazelnuts and breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix together.
  • Drain the cauliflower and place in the bottom of a large, shallow, baking dish. Pour the warmed sauce over the cauliflower, covering it evenly, then sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Put under the grill for 5 mins, or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden and crusty.
