Heat 800ml of water in a sauce pan. In a separate bowl whisk the béchamel powder into 250ml cold water until smooth then add to the boiling water, whisking continuously and gradually returning to the boil.
Simmer for 1 minute then add the cheese and mustard.
Tip into a large oven proof dish and top with sliced tomatoes. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 200°C/ 400°F/ Gas Mark 6 for 20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.
