Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Ham and Cheese Rolls
Crispy breaded ham and cheese rolls — the Spanish 'flamenquín' meets a San Jacobo — with molten cheese inside a golden panko crust. The air fryer fries them crisp with barely any oil.
They're an easy, kid-friendly snack or light dinner, great with a simple salad. Crunchy outside, gooey inside, impossible to resist.
Ingredients
Instructions
Roll
Stack a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, then roll them up tightly together. Repeat.
Bread
Dredge each roll in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat fully.
Air fry
Spray with oil and air fry at 390°F for about 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Coat them fully so the cheese stays sealed inside.
- Chill the rolls 10 minutes before breading to help them hold.
- Spray oil on all sides for an even golden crust.
Frequently asked
How long do ham and cheese rolls take in the air fryer?
About 8–10 minutes at 390°F, turning once, until golden and crisp.
How do I keep the cheese from leaking?
Roll tightly, bread them completely, and chill before cooking so the coating sets.
What's the difference between this and a San Jacobo?
They're close cousins — both breaded ham and cheese; San Jacobos are flat sandwiches, these are rolled.
