Cauliflower & Gruyere Bakes image

A recipe found in an old Australian Good Taste magazine. You can use Jarsburg cheese if gruyere is not available. Frozen cauliflower works well for this recipe too. You can use a white onion in place of the leek if they are not available,Use a blended gluten-free flour and crumbs (or leave off the crumbs all-together) to make this gluten-free suitable.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cauliflower bake turned out watery. I think I might have used too much milk.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cauliflower bake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the cauliflower.
