Delight in these warm, flaky Air Fryer Ham Cheese Croissants that are perfectly golden on the outside with savory ham and melty cheese on the inside. This quick and easy recipe uses pre-made croissant dough and combines the convenience of an air fryer to deliver a delicious breakfast or snack in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Croissant Dough

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

Fillings

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

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat so it’s ready for perfectly baked croissants.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the pre-made croissant dough on a clean, flat surface and carefully separate the dough into individual triangles for easy filling and rolling.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Place a slice or two of ham onto each dough triangle, then generously sprinkle shredded cheddar and Swiss cheese on top for gooey, savory filling.
  4. Roll Croissants: Starting from the wider base of each triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed tip, folding in the edges as you go to securely seal the filling inside.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush each rolled croissant with the beaten egg to create a shiny, golden-brown crust once baked.
  6. Air Fry: Place the croissants in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch, and cook for 8-10 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crisp.
  7. Cool and Serve: Check the croissants at 8 minutes for doneness. Once cooked through and crisp, carefully remove them and let cool slightly before serving to enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • You can swap ham for turkey or add mustard for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a softer crust, reduce air frying time by a minute or two.
  • Use cold croissant dough straight from the fridge for easier handling and rolling.
  • Serve with a side of fruit or a fresh salad to round out the meal.
