- Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place them in an ovenproof dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the cauliflower in the oven for about 20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- While the cauliflower roasts, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium hob. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until pale golden.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously until smooth. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Add the nutmeg, Dijon mustard and cheddar to the sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is combined. Adjust the seasoning with extra pepper if needed.
- Tip the roasted cauliflower into the cheese sauce and stir to coat every floret.
- Return the mixture to the ovenproof dish. Scatter the Parmesan over the top and bake for 10-15 minutes more, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
