Tips from Atelier Airfryer
Tips for success
Use artisan brioche-style bread for an even softer croque.
Also drain your ham well to prevent the croque from getting soggy during cooking.
Tasty variations
Add a thin slice of tomato or a few fresh spinach leaves between the ham and cheese for a touch of freshness.
You can also replace the gruyère with comté or a cheese blend for even more character.
