Preheat oven to 180°C. Cook the cauliflower florets in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and let drain well. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of cheese. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Then vigorously beat in the egg yolk and cream, heat briefly, but do not let it boil.
