Air Fryer Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry 🧀🥐
I’ve made this twice already, and I can honestly say it’s one of those recipes you keep coming back to because it’s just that good. Crispy, flaky, cheesy, and unbelievably easy — this one checks all the boxes.
The first time I made it, it disappeared in minutes. The second time, I doubled the batch… and still wished I’d made more. 😄 If you’re looking for a quick snack, an easy lunch, or something impressive to serve without spending hours in the kitchen, this recipe is a total winner.
What makes this so special is the perfect contrast: buttery puff pastry on the outside, melty cheese and savory ham on the inside, all cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer. No deep frying, no messy cleanup, and no oven heating up the whole house.
