Description
Crispy Air Fryer Ham & Cheese Hot Pockets with 2‑ingredient dough—healthy, cheesy, quick, perfect for snacks or meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup self‑rising flour
- 1 cup 0% (non‑fat) Greek yogurt
- Pinch salt
- Honey ham, sliced (Prime Fresh or similar package)
- Fat‑Free Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- Fat‑Free Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 egg beaten with about 1 teaspoon of water (egg wash)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Make the dough.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self‑rising flour, 0% Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. If it’s sticky, dust lightly with flour. Knead a couple of minutes on a floured surface until it holds together into a smooth ball. - Divide and roll.
Divide the dough into equal portions—e.g. 4 for larger pockets or more for smaller ones. Roll each portion out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thickness that’s thin enough to fold but thick enough not to tear when sealing. - Add fillings.
On one half of each rectangle, layer slices of honey ham, then shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar. Be careful not to over‑fill so the edges can seal cleanly. - Seal the pockets.
Fold over the dough to cover the filling. Press along the edges to seal, using fingers or a fork to crimp. Make sure the seams are well closed so cheese doesn’t leak during cooking. - Egg wash & prepare for air frying.
Whisk together the beaten egg and water. Brush the top of each hot pocket with the egg wash. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. - Air fry.
Preheat the air fryer (if your model requires preheating) to about 360°F (≈ 180°C). Place pockets in a single layer, seam side down, not touching. Cook for about 8‑10 minutes or until golden brown. Flip halfway through the cook time if needed for even browning. - Serve.
Remove carefully (they’ll be hot), let rest for a minute or two, then serve warm. Optionally garnish with extra cheese or serve with dipping sauce (mustard, marinara, etc.).
Notes
If the dough is too sticky, more flour helps; if too dry, add a tiny bit more yogurt.
Be gentle when sealing; wet edges help stick. A fork crimp helps reinforce.
Using shredded cheeses that melt well (not overly dry) helps achieve gooey center.
Air fryer models vary—watch the first batch to gauge timing & adjust.
Let rest briefly after air frying: filling may be molten and need to set slightly.
