Let cook on medium heat, while still whisking for about 1 minute. Very slowly, add the almond milk while whisking the mixture. Increase heat to medium high, whisking often. Heat just until the mixture STARTS to boil. As soon as it does, reduce the heat to low, whisking while the mixture thickens to a sauce. Stir in cheese until completely melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour sauce over cauliflower. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 50 minutes.
  • Remove foil, top with bread crumbs, and bake for another 12 minutes, or until the tops of the cauliflower are golden brown.
