Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and cook for a minute. Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously, until smooth. Whisk in the mustard and fine salt. Stir continuously over the heat for 5-6 minutes until thickened and starting to boil. Remove from the heat and add 200ml cheese (reserve the rest for sprinkling). Whisk until smooth. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C. Remove the foil and pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for another 30-40 minutes or until tender and golden on top. Remove, slice and serve.
