  3. Add the rest of the milk a bit at a time until the whole sauce is thickened. Stir through the cottage cheese and cheddar and continuing stirring until silky.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200C. Add the cauliflower to the cheese mix, coat and place in a suitable oven proof container.
  5. Chop the pumpkin seeds and mix with the ground almonds, grated parmesan and thyme. Sprinkle over the top of the cauliflower and place in the oven for 20 minutes until golden on top.
