Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes.
  2. 2. Halve the 2 croissants horizontally. Carefully cut them open, without cutting all the way through the bottom piece.
  3. 3. Soften the 20 g butter in a small bowl slightly. It should be spreadable.
  4. 4. Spread the insides of the bottom croissant halves thinly with the soft butter.
  5. 5. Place 2 slices of ham on each of the bottom halves. Distribute them evenly.
  6. 6. Sprinkle the ham with half of the grated Emmentaler cheese (50 g).
  7. 7. Cover the croissants with the top halves. Press them gently to hold them together.
  8. 8. Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it with a fork. This is your glue.
  9. 9. Brush the tops of the croissants thinly with the whisked egg. This will make them golden brown.
  10. 10. Place the croissants in the basket of the air fryer. Make sure they don't touch.
  11. 11. Bake the croissants at 180 °C for about 8 minutes. The surface should be firm and golden brown.
  12. 12. Turn the croissants carefully after half the time (about 4 minutes) so both sides brown evenly.
  13. 13. Check the cheese: it must be completely melted and slightly bubbly. This is your cooking signal.
  14. 14. Carefully remove the croissants. Let them rest for 2 minutes so the cheese sets a little.
  15. 15. Cut the croissants diagonally. The cross-section should show melted cheese and warm ham.
  16. 16. Serve the croissants immediately while warm. They are perfect when crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
