Indulge in the flaky, golden goodness of Air Fryer Ham Cheese Croissants. These easy pastries are filled with savory ham and gooey melted cheese, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack. Using pre-made croissant dough, you can create a bakery-style treat in minutes—crispy on the outside and irresistibly soft inside.

Ingredients

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

  • 4 oz sliced ham

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Swiss blend)

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

  • Unroll the croissant dough on a clean surface and separate into triangles.

  • Place a slice of ham on each triangle, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  • Starting from the wide end, roll the dough toward the tip, gently tucking in the sides.

  • Brush each croissant with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

  • Arrange croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.

  • Air fry for 8–10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.

  • Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Cheese swaps: Try mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack.

  • Extra flavor: Add a light spread of Dijon mustard or honey mustard before rolling.

  • Crispier crust: Lightly spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking.

  • Make it fancy: Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before cooking.
