Good to know

Chef's tip

For optimal crispness and even cooking, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If needed, cook the croissants in batches, making sure they are arranged in a single layer.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The croissant turns doughy and the scrambled eggs lose their soft texture after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The croissant gets soft and the scrambled eggs turn grainy. Make and eat right away.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Fresh assembly is required. Scrambled eggs and croissant don't hold up to advance preparation.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheating is strongly discouraged. The microwave would make the croissant soft and the eggs rubbery, ruining the texture.

Variations

Choose a melting cheese such as Emmental.
Serve immediately, while the croissant is hot and crispy.
Cook the scrambled eggs creamy and slightly moist.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the croissant completely in two: slice without detaching the halves.
Cooking the eggs until dry: they should stay creamy.
Heating too long: 4 to 6 minutes is enough to brown the croissant.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make the scrambled eggs?

Beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper, then pour them into a pan with the melted butter over low heat and stir constantly until the eggs are creamy and slightly moist.

How do you fill the croissants?

Cut the croissants in half horizontally without separating them completely, then fill them with cooked ham, scrambled eggs and a melting cheese before putting them in the air fryer.

How long do you cook the croissants in the air fryer?

Preheat the air fryer to 170°C for 3 minutes, then cook the filled croissants for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is well melted and the croissant is nicely golden and crispy.

Which cheese should you use?

A melting cheese, such as Emmental, is recommended: it melts well in the heat of the air fryer and binds the ham and scrambled eggs inside the croissant.
