# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • The air fryer creates impossibly flaky layers without heating up your whole kitchen
  • These come together in under 20 minutes using simple ingredients you probably have
  • Perfect for using up leftover deli meat and cheese from sandwich night
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the air fryer basket or the croissants will steam instead of crisp
  • The filling stays incredibly hot, so that cooling period is absolutely worth the wait
  • If any cheese escapes during cooking, clean your air fryer while its still warm for easy cleanup
03 -
  • Egg wash instead of butter creates an even shinier, deeper golden finish
  • A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top adds unexpected crunch and flavor
