- 1 whole cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 heaped teaspoons cornflour
- 300ml skimmed milk

Method
- Put the cauliflower into boiling water in a saucepan. Bring the water back to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Drain the cauliflower and place it in an ovenproof dish.

- Pour over the cauliflower and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.
- Grill until golden and bubbling.
The cauliflower counts as two portions of your 5 A DAY, but consuming a variety of vegetables and fruit is important
