Boil the cauliflower until it's a bit al dente and set aside.

For the cheese sauce, use about 1 tablespoon of dairy-free butter.

Add 1 dessert spoon of flour (self-raising or plain) to the butter.

Add pepper to taste.

Pour in about 200 milliliters of oat milk (or soy milk).

Put the mixture on heat and simmer gently, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.

Once thickened, add 1 teaspoon of English mustard (whole grain optional).

Add a few slices of vegan cheese and mix until fully blended.

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower carefully as it is very hot.

Cook in the center of the oven at 190 degrees Celsius (Mark 5) for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
