Method
- Preheat the grill to high. Cook the cauliflower in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain and transfer to a greased ovenproof dish.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy, then remove from the heat.
- Transfer the ready-made cheese sauce into a saucepan on a medium heat until piping hot, stirring regularly. Stir in the mustard and bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked cauliflower and top with the croutons. Mix the cheddar cheese with the Parmesan and sprinkle over the top. Grill for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
