1 14 lbs cauliflower florets, half the florets left whole and half sliced 1/2 inch thick (from 1 small head)

In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water cook the whole florets until almost tender, about 6 minutes.

Drain, add the cream and milk to the florets and simmer over low heat until very tender, about 9 minutes more.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
7
In the same skillet you cooked the bacon, pour off the fat and add the olive oil.

Add the sliced cauliflower and cook over low heat until almost tender and lightly browned on both sides, about 11 minutes.
9
Spread half the cauliflower slices in a shallow baking dish, cover with the bacon and top with the remaining cauliflower.

Add the stock and cheeses and bake for about 15 minutes, or until bubbly.
11
Serve the gratin and the puree together.
