To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging. Remove the cauliflower cheese from its packaging and place it in an ovenproof dish. Cover the dish loosely with foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Bake for the recommended time, removing the foil for the last part of the cooking to allow the cheese sauce to bubble and brown slightly. Ensure the dish is piping hot before serving.
