# How To Make It:

02 - Unroll croissant dough and separate into 4 individual triangles on a clean work surface.

04 - Place 1 slice roast beef, 1 slice ham, and 1 slice cheese on the wide end of each dough triangle.
05 - Roll each croissant starting from the wide end, tucking in sides to secure the filling inside.
06 - Place croissants seam-side down in air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece.

08 - Cook for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool 2-3 minutes before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These come together in under twenty minutes from start to finish
- The air fryer makes the croissant dough impossibly flaky without turning on your oven
- You can customize the fillings based on whatever is sitting in your deli drawer
02 -
- Overfilling these causes the cheese to explode out the sides and make a mess in your air fryer
- Letting them rest for two minutes after cooking helps the filling set so you do not burn your mouth
03 -
- Check your croissants a minute early since every air fryer heats differently
- Egg wash instead of butter creates an even shinier, darker golden finish
