Prepare the Sauce
- In a pan, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

- In a baking tray, combine the cooked cauliflower, potatoes, sausages, and ¾ of the sauce. Mix well.
- Sprinkle cheese and cedar cheese on top, if using, for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
-
Serve

- Serve with a fry and a salad for a full, hearty meal.
