Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 oz) pre-made croissant dough
  • 4 oz sliced ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mix of cheddar and Swiss)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking of the croissants.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the croissant dough on a clean surface and separate the triangles carefully without tearing.
  3. Add Filling: Place a slice or two of ham on each triangle, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and Swiss cheese evenly on top.
  4. Roll the Croissants: Starting from the wider end of each triangle, roll towards the tip, making sure to tuck in the edges to seal the filling securely inside.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each rolled croissant to give them a beautiful golden and glossy finish once cooked.
  6. Air Fry: Arrange the croissants in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for 8-10 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
  7. Check & Serve: Check at 8 minutes for a golden finish and remove once done. Let the croissants cool slightly before serving for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor.
  • Use your preferred cheese or a mix of cheeses for varied taste.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent filling from oozing out while cooking.
  • Egg wash gives a shiny, golden crust but can be skipped if desired.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model for best results.
