# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The air fryer creates this impossibly crispy exterior while keeping everything inside melty and hot
  • They come together in under 20 minutes but taste like something from a fancy breakfast spot
  • You can customize the fillings based on whatever you have in your fridge
02 -
  • The croissants puff up quite a bit, so give them room in the basket or they'll stick together
  • Let them cool for a few minutes after air frying or that melted cheese will burn your mouth instantly
03 -
  • Don't overfill them or the cheese will leak out during cooking and make a mess in your air fryer
  • A light sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top before air frying takes these to another level
