Break up the cauliflower into large florets (use the stalks and outer leaves if you like but cut them up small so that everything is cooked evenly) and boil in salted water for around 10 minutes, until cooked but still firm. Remove from heat, drain and spread across a lasagne or similar oven-proof dish.
  3. Heat 10g of the butter and gently fry the bacon pieces for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onions and fry them for another 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and leeks and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Finally, add the mushrooms and fry for another minute, stirring gently but continuously. Set aside.
  4. In a separate pan, gently melt the butter and then progressively add the flour, stirring continuously to make a smooth paste.
  5. Add the milk, a very little at a time and stirring continuously. When all is thoroughly mixed, add 100g of cheese and stir until well-mixed.
  6. Add the fried ingredients, stir to mix well. If the sauce is too thick to be be of a pouring but not thin consistency, add a little more milk.
  7. Pour over the cauliflower to cover evenly. Spread the remaining 50g of cheese and place the halved tomatoes on top.
