Air Fryer Beef Ham Cheese Croissants (Printer-friendly)

Flaky pastries with savory beef, ham, and cheese filling, crisped in air fryer. Quick and delicious.

# What you'll need:

01 - 4 ready-to-bake croissant dough triangles (from refrigerated tube or homemade)

02 - 4 slices cooked roast beef

03 - 4 slices ham

04 - 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese

05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

06 - 1 tablespoon softened butter (for brushing)

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes to ensure proper cooking temperature.

02 - Unroll the croissant dough and separate into 4 individual triangles on a clean work surface.

03 - If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard onto each dough triangle for added depth.

04 - Place 1 slice of roast beef, 1 slice of ham, and 1 slice of cheese on the wide end of each triangle.

05 - Roll each croissant starting from the wide end, tucking in sides to enclose the filling completely.

06 - Place croissants seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece.

07 - Lightly brush tops with softened butter if using for enhanced golden color and richness.

08 - Air fry for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let rest 2-3 minutes before serving.

01 -

The air fryer creates impossibly flaky layers while sealing in all that melty cheese
Ready in under 20 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy brunch spot

02 -

Overcrowding the basket is the fastest way to soggy croissants, so give them room to breathe
Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking or that lava hot cheese will burn your tongue every single time

03 -

Freeze any leftover cooked croissants and reheat at 300°F for 3 minutes to bring back that freshly made texture
Egg wash instead of butter gives you an even richer, deeper golden color
