Method

step 1

Steam the cauliflower for 6-8 mins until just tender. Leave to steam-dry.
step 2

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until foaming. Stir in the flour, whisk to a paste, then add the milk, a splash at a time, until you have a smooth, thick white sauce. Add the bay leaves and Boursin, and stir through until well combined. Season well.
step 3

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 4. Tip the cauliflower into a baking dish and pour over the sauce. To make the crispy crumbs, toss the breadcrumbs with the remaining ingredients in a small bowl with some seasoning. Scatter over the top of the cauliflower. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden, bubbling, and the cauliflower is cooked through.
