To make the dish, Del revealed he lightly toasted two slices of thick bread and put it aside.
Next, he boiled cauliflower florets, drained them and set them aside before making a roux sauce with flour and butter.
Del then added milk to the mix and let the sauce thicken, before adding two tablespoons of mustard powder and a pinch on nutmeg.
Some instagram users have used crushed cauliflowers and cheese to make the dish more like a classic toast topping
To get the sauce cheesy, Del then mixed mozzarella and cheddar into the sauce and stirred.
