Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully slice each croissant lengthwise, creating a hinge without cutting all the way through.
  • Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside of both halves of the croissant.
  • Layer 2 slices of cooked ham on the bottom half of each croissant.
  • Top the ham with 2 slices of your chosen cheese.
  • Gently fold the top half of the croissant down over the filling.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Place the filled croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the croissants in the air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes, monitoring closely until they are golden brown.
  • Once finished, carefully remove the croissants from the air fryer and let them sit for about a minute.
  • Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the croissants and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, choose quality croissants and layer ingredients evenly to maintain flavor and texture. Experiment with different fillings.
