Ham & Cheese Air Fryer Croissants (Printable Version)
Crispy buttery croissants stuffed with warm ham and gooey cheese, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a fast and effortless dish.
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 croissants, fresh or slightly stale are best
02 -
A total of 8 thin slices of ham
03 -
4 slices of cheese, such as Swiss, cheddar, or your favorite kind
# Steps:
01 -
Carefully cut each croissant open lengthwise, stopping just before the back hinge so they stay connected.
02 -
Take two ham slices and layer them inside one side of each croissant. Add a slice of cheese, folding it slightly if it doesn’t fit snugly.
03 -
Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up for 3 to 5 minutes.
04 -
Lay the croissants in the air fryer basket, keeping space between them for proper airflow. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes until the croissants are golden, the cheese is gooey, and the ham is warm.
05 -
Take the croissants out of the air fryer with care, and dig in while they're still hot!
# Notes:
01 -
The flakiness is better with fresh croissants
02 -
Swap the cheese for Gruyère, mozzarella, or another you enjoy
03 -
Try adding some Dijon mustard or tomato slices for extra kick
04 -
For a crispier finish, brush the tops with a little butter before cooking
