1. Simmer the cauliflower for 8 minutes or until tender, drain. Meanwhile, fry the leeks in the butter for 10 minutes until soft. Whizz the bread and sage to crumbs in a food processor. Add the tomatoes and oil and whizz until chopped. Add the mustard and flour to the leeks and stir.
2. Add a third of the milk and stir until thickened. Gradually add the rest of the milk and bring to simmer. Stir in the cheese. Divide between 4 ovenproof dishes and pour the sauce over. Scatter the crumbs over and grill for 5 minutes.

  I used broccoli instead of cauliflower and added some bacon to make a quick, light lunch and it was delicious! Definitely be making it again.
