Ingredients

• 1 Great Value Breakfast Sandwich (frozen)(English muffin, biscuit, or croissant style—sausage, bacon, or ham variety)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for 2–3 minutes. This ensures an even cook from the start.

Step 2: Prepare the Sandwich

Remove the sandwich from its plastic wrapper. For best results, wrap it in foil or separate components (bread and filling) for more even heating.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes, flipping once halfway through. If you separated the sandwich, reassemble for the last 2–3 minutes.

Step 4: Check for Doneness

Make sure the cheese is melted and the egg and meat are hot all the way through. Add an extra 1–2 minutes if needed.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Let cool slightly before eating, then dig into a crispy, hot, satisfying breakfast sandwich.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Separate Components for Even Heating

Split the sandwich in half or remove egg and meat to cook separately, then reassemble at the end.

Wrap in Foil for Softer Bread

If you prefer a softer sandwich texture, loosely wrap in foil to retain moisture.

Toast at the End

For an extra crisp edge, remove foil and toast unwrapped for the final 2 minutes.

Try a Flavor Boost

Add a dash of hot sauce, slice of tomato, or fresh spinach before serving.
