Add the chopped bacon to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.

Slice the croissants in half and place them cut-side up in a baking dish.

Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over the croissant halves.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, milk, mustard, and paprika; drizzle over the croissants.
