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)
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking of the croissants.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the croissant dough on a clean surface and separate the triangles carefully without tearing.
- Add Filling: Place a slice or two of ham on each triangle, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and Swiss cheese evenly on top.
- 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.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each rolled croissant to give them a beautiful golden and glossy finish once cooked.
- 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.
- 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.
