• 150 g grated cheese (e.g., Emmental)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.

   Grease four portion-sized casserole dishes. Rinse the cauliflower, cut into small florets and blanch in salted water for about 2 minutes. Shock in cold water, drain well and distribute among the dishes.
