Ingredients
  

  • 4 large croissants, sliced in half
  • 8 slices honey ham
  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, freshly shredded
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 4 slices of provolone cheese
Honey butter glaze:
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Start off by slicing your croissants in half, not all the way through if you want them to hold together nicely. Spread a layer of cream cheese on the bottom half of each croissant. You don’t need too much, just enough to give it that creamy base.
  2. Add your honey ham next. Stack it up nicely so you get a good bite every time. Then go in with your freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese. Don’t skip shredding it fresh, it melts so much better.
  3. Place a slice of provolone right on top to finish off the cheese layer. Close your croissants and set them aside while you make the glaze.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, honey, and brown sugar until combined.
  5. Drizzle that glaze right over the tops of the croissants. Make sure you get good coverage because that’s what gives you that golden, slightly sweet crust.
  6. Place the croissants into your air fryer and cook at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden and the cheese is melted.
  7. Take them out, let them cool slightly, and that’s it. Super simple and so good.
