Ingredients
1 Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl (frozen)
Optional:
Hot sauce, salsa, or ketchup for serving
Fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Breakfast Bowl
Remove the frozen bowl from its cardboard packaging but keep it in the black microwave-safe bowl (make sure the bowl is air fryer-safe; if not, transfer contents to an air fryer-safe dish).
Cover loosely with foil to prevent drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection
Cook at 350°F for 8–10 minutes
Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even heating
Remove foil for the last 2–3 minutes to allow cheese to melt and lightly brown
Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving
Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve
Let cool for 1–2 minutes before eating—contents will be very hot.
Pro Tips for the Best Results
Use an Air Fryer-Safe Bowl
If unsure about the plastic bowl, transfer the contents into a small air fryer-safe dish.
Stir Halfway Through Cooking
Mixing halfway ensures all parts heat evenly, especially the eggs and potatoes.
Loosely Cover with Foil at First
Prevents the eggs and cheese from over-drying while heating.
Uncover at the End for a Lightly Browned Finish
Get that melted, golden cheese topping by removing the foil toward the end of cooking.
