1. Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl using a spoon or whisk. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a large chopping board.
3. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pastry, then scatter shredded ham on top.
4. Fold both ends of the pastry inward, rolling each side toward the center. Position the two rolled sides so they sit on top of each other.
5. Slice into equal bite-size pieces.
6. Transfer the rolls to the air fryer tray, leaving space between them so they can expand.
7. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
8. Whisk the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
9. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
10. Cook for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If possible, turn them halfway through for even cooking.
11. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
