Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Twists
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.

Assemble
Lay the ham and cheese over half the puff pastry, fold it over, and press. Cut into strips.

Air fry at 365°F for about 10–12 minutes, until puffed, golden and crisp.
- Keep the pastry cold so it puffs well.
- Leave space so the twists puff without touching.
- Brush with egg for that glossy, golden bakery finish.
