- I tried frozen breakfast sandwiches from Aldi, Jimmy Dean, Odom’s Tennessee Pride, Swaggerty’s Farm.
- Swaggerty’s took my top spot for its seasoning and fresh-tasting English muffin.
- I thought the sandwiches from Jimmy Dean and Odom’s Tennessee Pride were solid runner-ups.
Finding a breakfast option that’s quick, tasty, and filling can be a struggle.
So, I tried a bunch of frozen breakfast sandwiches with sausage to see which (if any) could make my busy mornings easier in a delicious way.
I tried options from Aldi’s Breakfast Best line, Jimmy Dean, Odom’s Tennessee Pride, and Swaggerty’s Farm.
I followed the microwave instructions for each sandwich to ensure they were all cooked in a similar way and ate them at breakfast time to get an actual feel for how they fueled my day.
Here’s how I ranked them from my least favorite to my top pick.
Aldi’s Breakfast Best biscuit sandwiches didn’t impress me much.
I paid $4.59 for four sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwiches from Breakfast Best, an Aldi label.
At about $1.15 per sandwich, these were affordable. Unfortunately, they landed at the bottom of my list.
The sandwich didn’t turn out great in the microwave.
After following the microwave instructions, the biscuit and parts of the cheese got hard, while some areas of the sausage patty stayed cold.
The sandwich also had some unpleasantly crunchy bits, likely from the cheese and biscuit.
Although it was filling and more affordable than some of the other sandwiches, I’d rather make eggs and sausage from scratch than eat this one again.
I also think this sandwich might benefit from a different cooking method because following the microwave instructions didn’t work well for me.
Jimmy Dean Delights Egg’wiches don’t use bread as buns.
The Jimmy Dean Delights Egg’wich sandwiches cost me $8 for a box of four, or about $2 a sandwich.
Instead of bread, the sandwich uses mini frittatas (seasoned with bacon, spinach, caramelized onion, and Parmesan) as the outer layers.
These sandwiches also contain turkey sausage and cheese.
This turned out nicely in the microwave.
The egg “buns” were nicely seasoned, which gave the sandwich an almost garlicky kick and great flavor. Plus, the egg patties meant it was filling without feeling overly heavy.
With ingredients like caramelized onion and Parmesan, this sandwich definitely tasted higher quality than the others I tried.
I also appreciated that the microwave worked well for this one. Without bread, there was no risk of it becoming soggy or dry, and the eggs cooked perfectly.
Odom’s Tennessee Pride biscuit sandwiches took second place for me.
I also picked up a 12-pack of mini sausage buttermilk-biscuit sandwiches from Odom’s Tennessee Pride at Walmart for $6.32.
These mini sandwiches came in packs of two, so these cost about $1.05 per serving.
The sandwiches don’t have cheese or egg, but they were surprisingly delicious.
These sandwiches were the simplest of the ones I tried since they had no cheese or egg, but they still had plenty of flavor.
Two mini sandwiches were just the right amount to be satisfying.
Since they were smaller, they cooked faster than the full-sized options I tried, which I also appreciated.
These bite-sized sandwiches would be an especially great choice for families with kids who need a quick breakfast on the go.
Swaggerty’s Farm has sausage, egg, and cheese muffins.
I paid $8 for four Swaggerty’s Farm sausage, egg, and cheese muffins, making each $2.
These were tied for the priciest pick on the list, costing the same per sandwich as the ones from Jimmy Dean.
These were my favorite.
The sausage was super flavorful with a nice kick of spice, and the English muffin reheated well — it stayed soft and tasted freshly baked.
Although I found these took slightly longer to microwave than the package suggested, the extra cook time was worth it. The cheese was perfectly melted by the time I took the sandwich out of the microwave.
Plus, the Swaggerty’s Farm sandwich felt the biggest and most substantial of all the ones I tried. It kept me full until lunch without any extra snacks in between.
Overall, it was my clear favorite.
