Instructions
- Set oven temperature to 375F (190C) to prepare for baking.
- Render bacon in a skillet over medium heat until achieving a crisp, golden texture. Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess grease.

- Generously cover the surface with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing for complete coverage.
- Enhance flavor profile with a light sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

- Finish by scattering finely chopped chives as a vibrant garnish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Customize croissant thickness by selecting freshly baked or day-old varieties for different texture experiences.
- Achieve crispy bacon by patting excess moisture with paper towels before crumbling to prevent soggy results.
- Experiment with cheese alternatives like gruyere or goat cheese for unique flavor profiles and dietary accommodations.
- Use silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup during preparation.
