How to prepare Puff Pastry in Air Fryer
Let’s start preparing the puff pastry cooked in the air fryer. Unroll the puff pastry, cut it in half to make two strips, and then into 3 parts, so you will get 6 rectangles.
Cut 6 slices of smoked provolone and place each slice of provolone on each half and also a slice of cooked ham.
Wet the edges of each rectangle with water using a brush.
Close the rectangles to form a triangle and press the edges well, first pressing with your fingers, then with the tines of a fork to seal the puff pastry well. If you like, you can brush them with a beaten egg yolk so they have a more golden color.
Place the puff pastries in the air fryer basket. If all 6 pieces do not fit, make 2 batches. Do not overlap them to have a more even cooking.
Cook at 375°F for 12 minutes, before removing them from the basket, check that they are golden and puffed, the cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer.
Serve them hot for a melty cheese or at room temperature.
