Easy Air Fryer Stuffed Croissants Recipe

These stuffed croissants are made by filling store-bought croissant dough with a variety of delicious ingredients and cooking them in an air fryer to achieve a crispy texture without the need for deep frying. The process takes about 20 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 package of refrigerated croissant dough
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 cup of cooked ham, turkey, or other meats (optional)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (for sweet option)
1/2 cup of fruit preserves or fresh fruit (for sweet option)

1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon of water

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Choose your desired filling. For savory, combine cheese and meat. For sweet, mix chocolate chips or fruit preserves.
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Roll the Croissants: Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of your filling at the wider end of each triangle.

Roll Up Croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough towards the pointed end, sealing in the filling as you go. Pinch the edges to secure the stuffing.
Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the croissants to give them a golden finish.
Air Fry the Croissants: Arrange the stuffed croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
