Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy; drain and chop.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Stir in the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

In another bowl, combine milk and melted butter; mix well.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in chopped chives for added flavor.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth.

Shape the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick.

Place the disk on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cut a shallow cross on top of the dough to help it bake evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
