Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and boil for 3 minutes. Drain.
• Cut the florets into slices and arrange in the baking dish. Scatter red bell pepper pieces on top.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour and whisk to create a paste. Pour in half-and-half, stirring to incorporate. Add 3/4 cup Gruyère cheese and truffle salt. Pour cheese sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle remaining cheese and panko on top.

• Preheat the oven to 450°.
• Spray a large casserole dish with non-fat cooking spray. Add cauliflower florets to dish and lightly coat them with non-fat cooking spray. Then season with half the salt and pepper. Put into oven and roast for 25 minutes or until cauliflower is golden brown.
• Meanwhile, whisk flour with 2 tablespoons buttermilk until smooth.
• Heat the wine and remaining buttermilk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Add the flour mixture; cook, whisking, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in Gruyere, chives, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Spoon over the cauliflower and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C
• Cook cauliflower in a large pot o boiling salted water, until tender - about 5 minutes. Add the leek 1 minute before the end of cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the gruyere and flour in a small saucepan. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Spoon the cauliflower and leek mixture among four 250ml (1 cup) capacity ovenproof dishes or you can use one larger baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the gruyere sauce and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
• Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Add flour; stir 2 minutes (do not brown).
• Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk.
• Increase heat to high; bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture is thickened, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Add cheese, stir until melted.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Do Ahead: This cheese sauce can be made 2 hours ahead.
• Let stand at room temperature.
• Rewarm before using, adding more milk if sauce is too thick.

Steps:

• For the sauce, melt the butter in a shallow saucepan. When it's just starting to sizzle, stir in the flour to make a paste. Cook for a minute, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Stir through the mustard, cream cheese, truffle oil (if using) and parmesan, and cook over a low heat until thickened. Season with lots of black pepper.
• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Trim the leaves off the cauliflowers and slice into rough steaks about 1cm thick. Don't worry about the outside bits not being slices - it will all be used. Assemble the dish a bit like a lasagne. Spoon a quarter of the cheese sauce into a large baking dish and spread it out, then add half of the cauliflower. Repeat the process, finishing with a thick layer of sauce. Scatter over the mozzarella, and the gruyère or cheddar and crispy onions.
• Bake for 1 hr 30-1 hr 45 mins until the cheese is golden and the cauliflower is soft but not mushy. If you want a golden finish, you can grill it (keep an eye on it) or leave it in when you turn the oven up for the crackling, if making the salt & vinegar roast pork as well. Once baked, leave to stand for 10 mins before serving in the middle of the table.
