Cauliflower with Parmesan Cheese

A small cauliflower 1/4 pint Plain white sauce 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese Trim all the green from the cauliflower, wash it well, and cut the stalk so that it will stand firmly on a baking dish. Place it in a little vinegar and water for a quarter of an hour to draw out the insects; then put it into boiling water with a little salt. It will take about twenty minutes to boil. Try the stalk to see whether it is tender; it must not be broken. Drain it very carefully, and place in baking dish; a French fire-proof dish is the best, as the cauliflower can be sent to table in it. Make a quarter of a pint of sauce from recipe for white sauce. Pour this carefully over the cauliflower; then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the sauce, and brown it in a hot oven. Serve immediately.
