Deliciously flaky and golden air fryer ham and cheese croissants made with pre-made croissant dough, savory ham slices, and a blend of cheddar and Swiss cheese, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Croissant Dough

  • 1 package (8 oz) pre-made croissant dough

Filling

  • 4 oz sliced ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mix of cheddar and Swiss)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants evenly and achieve a golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the pre-made croissant dough on a clean flat surface and carefully separate the dough into individual triangles as they are pre-scored.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Place slices of ham evenly on each dough triangle, then sprinkle a generous amount of the shredded cheese blend on top of the ham to create a delicious filling.
  4. Roll the Croissants: Starting from the wider base of each triangle, roll the dough towards the tip, ensuring you tuck the edges slightly to securely seal the filling inside.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the outside of each rolled croissant with the egg wash to give the pastry a shiny, golden finish during cooking.
  6. Arrange and Cook: Place the rolled croissants in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they have some space to expand. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Check and Serve: Check the croissants at 8 minutes; once they are puffed and golden, remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty cheese and warm ham inside.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some herbs like thyme or parsley inside before rolling.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the croissants in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Use cold egg wash for easier application and better browning.
  • Allow croissants to cool for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth with hot cheese.
