Cauliflower cheese with salmon

This James Martin dish uses cooked flaked salmon but suggests other leftovers from the Sunday roast would also substitute.

Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
• 50g/2oz butter, plus extra for greasing
• 50g/2oz plain flour
• 450ml/16fl oz milk
• 2 free-range egg yolks
• 1 tsp English mustard
• splash of Worcestershire sauce
• salt and black pepper
• 150g/5oz cooked flaked salmon
• 125g/4½oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 75g/3oz emmental cheese, grated

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the cauliflower and cook for two minutes. Drain and place in a buttered ovenproof dish.
2. Place the butter and flour into a saucepan and heat to melt the butter. Cook, stirring for one to two minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth sauce. Return to the heat and simmer for two to three minutes.
