How About Air Frying Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Brown Frozen Sandwiches?

Basically anything about the same size as the toaster scrambles use the same timing we have listed below. These Jimmy Dean branded breakfast sandwiches are slightly bigger than these frozen pillsbury toaster scrambles, so the Jimmy Dean brand need a little more time. Use this time and temp article for air fryer frozen hot pockets. These hot pockets are larger and about the same size as the Jimmy Dean sandwiches so if you’re using a brand that is similar size to hot pockets, this timing should work fine. If you’re air frying an actual frozen breakfast sandwich, we have the info for time and temp here.

Do These Frozen Scrambles or Sandwiches need to be thawed?

No, they don’t and that’s why they’re so easy to air fry. Just take them frozen, straight out of the freezer and put them in the air fryer basket or rack.

Notes

Air Frying Tips and Notes:
  1. No Oil Necessary. Cook Frozen – Do not thaw first.
  2. Remember to turn/flip after the first 6 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  3. Recipe timing is based on a non-preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches of hot pockets back to back, the following batches may cook a little quicker. 
  4. Recipes were tested in 3.7 to 6 qt. air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the toaster scrambles might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

Why Did The Breakfast Scramble Burn on the Outside?

It’s probably because your air fryer heating element is too close to the food or your model just cooks slightly hotter than ours. So if you try it again, reduce cooking time by about 1-2 minutes. Check the toaster scramble in the air fryer, then add additional 1 minute of cooking time until it’s crispy to your personal preference.
