Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Grate the 3 cheeses or cut into small dice if soft.
Stage 2 - 8 min.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Cut 2 slices cured ham into strips.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan or saucepan, then add the ham.
Fry for a few minutes until lightly browned.

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Add the cauliflower and 1.8 oz cream. Heat through while stirring well.
Stage 11 - 5 min.
Remarks
For the cheeses, in the photos I was using Parmesan, Comté and Cheddar, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer.
You can also use a softer cheese, but this is better cut into small dice rather than grated.
