Basic Tips For Cooking Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwiches

When it comes to cooking these popular breakfast sandwiches there are a couple things to keep in mind to make sure you’re getting the best possible results.

Follow these tips and then the baking instructions outlined below for your favorite sandwich.

Keep The Sandwich Frozen Until Cooking

To keep your sandwiches from going bad or becoming soggy, you’ll want to keep them frozen until you’re ready to cook them.

You can thaw them in the fridge overnight, but it’s not recommended keeping them in the fridge for more than 3 days at a time or the quality will suffer.

Choose Your Cooking Method

Depending on how much time you have you can either heat your breakfast sandwich up in the microwave or warm it in an oven or air fryer.

Heating it in the microwave is faster, but the texture may be a little softer than if you warmed it up in the oven.

Always Remove The Wrapper

Whether you’re microwaving your sandwich or heating it in the oven, make sure you remove the wrapper it comes in and follow the appropriate instructions for proper cooking.
