The air fryer is so versatile I am constantly amazed. One of the things I have begun making over the last couple of years is “bombs.” I never made them before I got my air fryer.

A bomb is basically a bite-sized snack that usually has a biscuit shell and a flavorful filling on the inside.

You may have come across our air fryer pizza bombs or pumpkin bombs before. If not, check them out, they are FANTASTIC!

We recently had some leftover deli ham and a can of biscuit dough, so we turned the classic ham and cheese sandwich into ham and cheese bombs (or ham and cheese bites, depending on what you like to call them)!

If you love a good hot and ham cheese sandwich, loaded with melty cheese, I just know you’re going to love these cheesy bites of goodness! The perfect snack, appetizer, or even lunch!

Ingredient Notes:

Ham and cheese bite ingredients spread out on a countertop.

Biscuits – For this recipe and most bomb recipes it is best to use flaky layered biscuits. We favor the Grand’s flaky layers, but you can use any canned biscuits.

Ham- We’re using deli sliced ham for this recipe. You can use any variety you like.

Cheese– We went the classic route with swiss cheese, but use any block of cheese you prefer.

Mustard- A little bit of dijon adds loads of flavor to these ham and cheese bites.

Seasonings- The rest of your ingredients will be butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. This will be brushed on the biscuit to add some flavor.

How to Make Air Fryer Ham and Cheese Bites:

Prep– Start by opening the biscuits and separating them. Next peel them each in half to form a total of 16 thinner biscuits. Cut your ham into small pieces and cut your cheese into a total of 16 cubes.

Fill -Lightly spread mustard on one side of your biscuits then top with pieces of ham and a cube of cheese. Fold up the edges of the biscuit to cover the ham and cheese and then roll into a bowl. Be sure the edges are sealed to avoid cheese leaking out.

Butter – Add melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Brush this mixture over the dough balls.

Air fry – Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes. The dough should be golden brown and cooked all the way through when done.

FAQ:

How should I reheat my ham and cheese bites?

Use your air fryer and reheat at 325 degrees F until warm. This should take about 4 minutes.

Tips:

Be sure to use room temperature cheese or it may not fully melt.

Feel free to swap the deli ham for any type of deli meat you have on hand. The cheese can also be swapped to another variety, if you prefer.
