Ingredients
  

For the Croissants
  • 1 package pre-made croissant dough Essential for flakiness; make sure it’s thawed before use.
  • 8 slices ham Provides savory flavor; can be substituted with turkey for a lighter option.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, gouda) Adds creaminess and richness; feel free to mix in spicy options like pepper jack for a kick.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large egg Gives the croissants a beautiful golden color when baked.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Unroll the pre-made croissant dough on a clean surface at room temperature and lay it flat.
  2. Layer slices of ham on each triangle of dough and sprinkle shredded cheese over the ham.
  3. Starting from the wider end, gently roll the dough toward its tip, tucking in the edges as you go.
  4. Brush the tops of each rolled croissant with egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C), arrange croissants in a single layer, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Check for doneness around the 8-minute mark; they should be golden brown and crispy.
