Flaky, golden air fryer ham and cheese puff pastry twists — buttery layers wrapped around melty cheese and savory ham, ready in minutes. The air fryer puffs them up crisp and golden with no oven needed.

They make an elegant snack, party appetizer or quick breakfast. Serve warm so the cheese is gooey and the pastry shatters.
