Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/3 cup apricot preserves
  • 4 slices deli ham, quartered
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 16 pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll pastry into a 12-in. square; cut into sixteen 3-in. squares. Place 1 teaspoon preserves in center of each square; top with ham, folding it as necessary, and cheese. Overlap 2 opposite corners of pastry over filling; pinch tightly to seal.
  2. In batches, place pastries in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, 12-16 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with additional apricot preserves.
