Kitchen Tools

• Air fryer – Cooks the eggwich perfectly, giving it a crispy texture while keeping the inside hot and juicy.

• Measuring cups/spoons – Needed if you want to add any extra seasonings or toppings.

How To Cook Jimmy Dean Delights Eggwich In The Air Fryer

• Remove the frozen eggwich from its packaging.
• Separate the egg buns and sausage patty so they cook evenly. Set the cheese aside for later.
• Place the eggs and sausage patty in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spread out.
• Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook for 5 minutes.
• Once done, carefully remove the air fryer basket.
• Place the cheese on top of the hot sausage patty and return it to the air fryer. Do not turn the air fryer on—let it sit for 1 minute to melt.
• Assemble the eggwich by stacking the sausage patty with melted cheese between the egg buns.
• Serve hot and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

• A side of juicy blueberries or sliced avocado adds a refreshing balance to this protein-packed breakfast.
• Enjoy your eggwich with a cup of turkish coffee or honey lemon tea for a complete morning meal.
• Try creamy thousand island dressing, homemade spicy sriracha mayo, or creamy salsa dip with cream cheese for extra flavor.
• Serve with a side of crispy air fryer turkey bacon or a fresh spring mix salad for a more filling breakfast.
• If you’re not following a low-carb diet, place the cooked eggwich in a keto coconut flour tortillas for an easy, on-the-go option.

Tips For Success

• No need to thaw – The air fryer cooks the eggwich perfectly straight from frozen, so there’s no prep required.
• Separate the layers – Cooking the eggs and sausage patty separately ensures even heating and prevents the cheese from melting too soon.
• Keep the cheese for last – If you add the cheese too early, it may burn or fly around the air fryer. Let it melt using residual heat for the best results.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – If making two eggwiches, ensure they are placed in a single layer so air can circulate properly.
• Adjust cook time if needed – Some air fryers may cook faster or slower, so check at the 4-minute mark and add extra time if necessary.

Variations And Substitutions

• Try different flavors – Jimmy Dean offers multiple flavors of their Delights Eggwich, so you can switch things up while using the same air fryer method.
• Add extra toppings – Try adding a slice of tomato, avocado, or even a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
• Use a different cheese – If you prefer a different cheese, swap out the included one for cheddar, pepper jack, or even Swiss.
• Make it spicier – Add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to kick up the heat.
• Lower the sodium – If you’re watching your sodium intake, opt for a lower-sodium sausage patty or make a homemade version using egg rounds and turkey sausage.

Storage and Reheating

• Storing Leftovers – If you have an extra cooked eggwich, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheating in the Air Fryer – Place the eggwich in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
• Reheating in the Microwave – Heat on a microwave-safe plate for 30-45 seconds, but note that the texture may be softer compared to air frying.
• Freezing – Since this eggwich starts as a frozen item, it’s best to cook from frozen rather than refreezing after cooking.
