Air Fryer Beef Ham Croissants (Printable)
Flaky croissants filled with savory roast beef, ham, and cheese, crisped golden in the air fryer.
# What You'll Need:
→ Croissant Dough
01 - 4 ready-to-bake croissant dough triangles
→ Fillings
02 - 4 slices cooked roast beef
03 - 4 slices ham
04 - 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
→ Optional Enhancements
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 - 1 tablespoon softened butter
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes to ensure proper crisping.
02 - Unroll the refrigerated croissant dough and separate into 4 individual triangles.
03 - Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard onto each triangle if using, distributing evenly across the surface.
04 - Place 1 slice of roast beef, 1 slice of ham, and 1 slice of cheese on the wide end of each dough triangle.
05 - Roll each croissant starting from the wide end toward the point, tucking in the sides to securely enclose the filling.
06 - Place croissants seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each to allow air circulation.
07 - Brush tops lightly with softened butter if desired. Air fry for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
08 - Let croissants cool in the basket for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
# Expert Hacks:
01 -
- Transforms simple deli staples into something that feels like a weekend treat
- The air fryer creates that perfect golden crunch without turning on your oven
02 -
- Do not overcrowd the basket—these need space to crisp up evenly on all sides.
- Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking, otherwise the hot cheese will burn your mouth immediately.
03 -
- Freeze extra assembled croissants before air frying—add 2 minutes to cooking time from frozen
- Egg wash instead of butter creates an even shinier, more professional-looking finish
