After a short soak, it softens and you can tightly wrap the prepared filling in it.

How to make a ham sandwich in a hot air fryer

For 2 servings of fried ham from a hot air fryer according to the introductory video, you will need 5 slices of cheese, such as Gouda or Emmental, 4 slices of ham, 2 rice papers, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of milk, breadcrumbs as needed, and cooking spray.

• Cut the cheese and ham slices in half diagonally to make triangles. Layer 5 cheese triangles and 4 ham triangles alternately. Start and end with cheese.
