Preheat the grill to high.

Melt 50g of butter in a pan and stir in the flour for two minutes.

Gradually whisk in the milk, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cheddar until smooth.

Fry the brioche cubes in the remaining butter for two minutes until golden-brown.

Layer broccoli, sauce, and brioche in a dish, top with Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, and grill.

Whisk oil, vinegar, and lemon juice together and toss with salad leaves.

Serve the gratin warm with the side salad.
