Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits are a beloved breakfast staple, with their fluffy biscuits and savory sausage patties smothered in gooey cheese. While they taste delicious right out of the package, heating them up takes these sandwiches to a whole new level of hot, melty goodness. This article will explore the best practices for heating Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits to perfection using the microwave, oven, or even on the stovetop.
Microwave Method
The quickest and easiest way to heat Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits is in the microwave. Here is a simple microwave method:
-
Remove plastic wrapper and place biscuit on a microwave-safe plate Do not microwave biscuit in wrapper
-
Cover loosely with a paper towel to prevent splatter.
-
Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds depending on your microwave wattage. Standard is 1100 watts
-
Allow to rest for 1 minute before carefully removing the hot biscuit.
-
Check that sausage is hot throughout and cheese is fully melted before eating,
-
For frozen biscuits, increase cook time to 60-90 seconds based on 1000 watt microwave.
The paper towel absorbs excess moisture, keeps the biscuit soft and prevents sogginess. Adjust cook times as needed based on your individual microwave power. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
Oven Method
While the microwave is quick, the oven gives you crispy, golden biscuits:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Place frozen biscuit on baking sheet, separated into top and bottom halves.
-
Loosely wrap each half in foil to retain moisture.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
-
For best results, bake directly on oven rack rather than baking sheet.
The foil wrapping steams the biscuit to keep it tender while the sides get crispy in the oven. Check frequently to avoid drying out.
Stovetop Method
For an extra crispy biscuit, use the stovetop:
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of butter or oil.
-
Add frozen biscuit halves top side down once pan is hot.
-
Cook 3-5 minutes until underside is golden brown.
-
Flip and cook second side until heated through, about 3 more minutes.
The hot skillet gives you a crispy exterior similar to deep frying. Cook times may vary based on thickness of biscuits.
Reheating Leftovers
Have leftover biscuits? Reheat them to crispy perfection:
-
Split leftover biscuits in half and wrap tightly in foil.
-
Heat in a 350°F oven 7-10 minutes until warmed through.
-
For quick microwave reheating, heat 20-30 seconds until hot.
Splitting the biscuit allows insides to heat evenly. The foil keeps the reheated biscuit soft and moist. Adjust times as needed.
