  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan).

  5. Pour 2 tbsp of the cream into a baking dish and sprinkle on 2 tbsp of the grated cheese.
  6. Add half of the cauliflower, then top with half of the remaining cream and a quarter of the remaining cheese. Sprinkle on half of the salt and pepper.

Feel free to swap out the Cheddar cheese for a combination of Gruyère and mozzarella for a creamier texture, or add crispy bacon bits for crunch.
