- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
- Blanch the cauliflower in salted water 5 minutes. Rinse and drain.
- Make the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir 1 minute but don't let it brown. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the milk.
- Return the milk to the heat and simmer very gently about 10 minutes. Keep stirring so it doesn't stick.
- Remove from heat again and stir in about 3/4 of the cheese, the cream and the mustard. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Careful not to make it too salty!
- Place the cauliflower in a baking dish and pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake 30 minutes or until brown and bubbling.
