About

How luxe is this? I love regular cauliflower cheese, but the fresh truffle sends this humble jaffle into the premier league.

Ingredients

Bread

8 thin slices brioche loaf

Method

Cut the cauliflower into small florets using a small knife. Set half aside and thinly slice the remaining florets. Cut any stem pieces to roughly the same size as the florets and add them to the first batch of florets.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
