Method

Preheat grill to medium. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Simmer the cauliflower florets for 4-5min until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 2min.

Put sauce flour into a pan with the milk, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Bring to the boil, whisking continuously until sauce thickens. Simmer for 3min. Stir in the three mustards and 100g (3½oz) cheese.

Arrange the florets, ham and tomatoes in a large ovenproof dish. Pour the sauce over. Mix together the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle over. Grill for 3-4min until golden and bubbling.
