Tips For Success

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Make sure the toaster pop-ups aren’t stacked on top of each other in the air fryer basket. Give them enough space to cook evenly and get that perfect crispy texture on the outside.
• Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer: Different air fryer models may vary in cooking times. If you like your toaster pop-ups extra crispy, add an extra minute or two, but always keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
• No need to preheat: One of the biggest time savers is that there’s no need to preheat the air fryer, unlike traditional ovens. This helps you get breakfast ready even faster!
• Let them cool slightly: After taking them out of the air fryer, give the toaster pop-ups a minute to cool before digging in, as the filling can be very hot.
• Experiment with flavors: Jimmy Dean Toaster Pop-Ups come in different varieties like sausage, egg, and cheese, or bacon and egg. Feel free to try out other flavors using the same cooking method!

Storage and Reheating

• Storage: If you have leftover toaster pop-ups, allow them to cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheating in the air fryer: To reheat, place the toaster pop-up in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
• Reheating in the microwave: If you’re in a hurry, you can also reheat them in the microwave. Heat on high for 30-40 seconds, though note that the exterior may not stay as crispy.
• Freezing cooked leftovers: You can freeze already cooked toaster pop-ups. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil, place in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, air fry at 350°F for 6-8 minutes directly from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook Jimmy Dean Toaster Pop-Ups straight from frozen in the air fryer?

Yes, you can cook them directly from frozen in the air fryer without any need for preheating or thawing. Just follow the recipe instructions to cook them at 380°F for 8 minutes, and they will turn out perfectly crispy on the outside and hot on the inside.

What if my air fryer cooks faster or slower than the recipe suggests?

Air fryers can vary depending on the model and size. If your toaster pop ups aren’t as crispy as you’d like at the 8-minute mark, you can add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time. If they seem to be browning too quickly, you can reduce the temperature slightly or check them a minute earlier.

Can I cook more than one toaster pop up at a time?

Yes, you can cook multiple toaster pop ups at once, as long as you don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave enough space between them so air can circulate for even cooking.

Can I use this method for other frozen breakfast items?

Absolutely! The air fryer is a great tool for cooking many frozen breakfast items like croissants, pastries, or breakfast sandwiches. Always check the recommended temperature and time for each product, but the method is generally the same—no preheating and cooking straight from frozen.

How do I prevent the filling from getting too hot and burning my mouth?

The filling can get quite hot after cooking, so it’s best to let the toaster pop up cool for a minute or two before biting into it. This will help avoid burning your mouth and ensure you can fully enjoy the crispy exterior and warm filling.
