  • Deli Ham Slices: Use thinly sliced ham, but you can also use leftover ham from Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving!
  • Cheese: I used Pepper Jack, but Havarti works wonders here; or use cream cheese!

Recipe Variations

Exploring different recipe variations can add a delightful twist to your Air Fryer Cheesy Ham & Pickle Egg Rolls. Here are some creative ideas to try:

  • Different Cheeses: Swap out the usual cheese with varieties like Swiss for a nutty flavor, Gouda for a smooth and creamy taste, or Provolone for its mild and slightly sweet character. Each type of cheese brings a unique flavor and melting quality to the egg rolls.
  • Variety of Pickles: Experiment with different pickles, like bread and butter pickles for a sweeter touch, spicy pickles for an added kick, or even homemade pickles for a personalized flavor.
  • Change the Meat: Instead of ham, try using prosciutto for a saltier, more intense flavor, smoked turkey for a lighter option, or even salami for a more robust taste.
  • Spicy Twist: Add some jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a spicy version, perfect for those who enjoy extra heat.
  • Cream Cheese Addition: Incorporate some cream cheese into the filling for a creamy and tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with the ham and pickles.
  • Herb Infusion: Mix in some finely chopped herbs like dill, parsley, or chives into the cheese for an aromatic and fresh flavor profile.
  • Vegetable Inclusion: Add finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach for added nutrition and a burst of color.
  • Sweet and Savory Sauce: For dipping, create a sweet and savory sauce by mixing honey mustard with a bit of barbecue sauce for a unique flavor that complements the ham and pickle combination.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
  • ‘Everything Bagel’ Seasoning: Sprinkle some ‘Everything Bagel’ seasoning on the outside of the egg rolls before air frying for an extra burst of flavor.

These variations allow you to customize the Air Fryer Cheesy Ham & Pickle Egg Rolls to suit different tastes and occasions, making the recipe versatile and exciting each time you prepare it.
