5. Transfer sprouts and HALF of the bacon to the prepared baking dish and toss with the red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste, then spread out evenly. Pour the cream on top, sprinkle with the cheese, remaining bacon and pork rind crumbs and dot with the butter pieces.
6. Bake the gratin until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
