In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix the meatball ingredients thoroughly with clean hands until well combined.
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter and set them aside on a tray or plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Fry the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice until smooth to prepare the mustard sauce.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside the mustard sauce for dipping.
