Grate the 3 cheeses or cut into small dice if soft.
Stage 2 - 8 min.

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

Add the cauliflower and 150 ml 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.
