Bring salted water to a boil in a pot and blanch the cauliflower slices and smaller florets for two minutes. Remove them from the pot, drain, and let them cool slightly.

  3. Heat butter in a pan and sauté the leek for two minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and sauté. Cook over high heat for another 5 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and sour cream, reserving one tablespoon. Remove from heat.

  4. Spread the remaining sour cream on the bottom of a baking dish (20 x 30 cm), then layer it with the cauliflower slices. Fill the empty spaces with the smaller florets. Spread the mushroom mixture on top, gently press it down, and cover with the remaining cauliflower.

  5. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. Place the dish in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving.
