Ingredients
  

For the Croissants
  • 1 package Pre-made Croissant Dough Essential for that flaky texture; make sure it's thawed before rolling.
  • 4 slices Ham Adds savory flavor; you can substitute turkey if you prefer a lighter option.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (e.g., Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gouda) Provides a creamy richness; try pepper jack for a spicy twist.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large Beaten Egg This gives your croissants a beautiful golden finish when brushed on before cooking.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Unroll the pre-made croissant dough on a clean, flat surface. Ensure the dough has reached room temperature for easier handling. Carefully separate the dough into individual triangles.
  2. Place a slice of ham in the center of each triangle of dough, followed by a generous sprinkle of your chosen shredded cheese.
  3. Starting from the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough toward the tip, ensuring the filling stays securely tucked inside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly apply the egg wash over the tops of each rolled croissant.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Once done, carefully remove the croissants from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two on a wire rack.
