Steps:
- Cut the cauliflower into chunks and the cabbage into large pieces. Boil both in the measured, salted water for about 2 minutes. Drain over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Melt the 50g (3½ tbsp) butter in a saucepan over a medium-low heat and stir in the flour, mixing it into a smooth roux. Now start adding the reserved vegetable cooking water, little by little, stirring after each addition until all the lumps have gone, then add the milk in the same way. When it has all been added, season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
- Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool a little. Then add the egg yolks and stir again. Fold in the cauliflower and cabbage.
- In a separate, scrupulously clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the cauliflower mixture and season once more with salt and pepper.
- Butter a large ovenproof dish or cake tin with the 1 tsp of butter and sprinkle the buttered inside evenly with some of the breadcrumbs. Spoon in the cauliflower mixture, cover with the remaining breadcrumbs, then place small dots of butter evenly on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then serve.
