Quick answer
Buy the Jimmy Dean Protein Breakfast Burger Brioche if you want a fully cooked, heat-and-eat breakfast sandwich with a flame-broiled beef burger, peppered egg, and sharp cheddar on a soft brioche bun. Skip it if you want the lightest option or the highest protein count; the Delights Egg Whites, Turkey Sausage & Cheese Ciabatta lists 16 grams of protein, while the Delights Bacon & Spinach Frittata lists 13 grams.
What you actually get in the box
The Protein Breakfast Burger Brioche is a fully cooked, heat-and-enjoy sandwich. Inside soft, fluffy brioche buns you get a flame-broiled beef burger, a peppered egg, and sharp cheddar cheese. Because it is fully cooked, the only work is reheating, which makes it a fit for quick mornings, midday breaks, or a relaxed weekend bite when you do not want to cook.
The catalog price is USD 5.05 against a comparison price of USD 6.83, so the value case rests on convenience and the specific brioche-and-beef combination rather than on being the cheapest item in the freezer aisle.
How it compares to lighter Jimmy Dean options
If a beef burger on brioche is more indulgence than you want at 7 a.m., the Delights line covers the other direction. The Delights Bacon & Spinach Frittata is a fluffy egg muffin packed with bacon, spinach, and cheese, and each serving lists 13 grams of protein. The Delights Egg Whites, Turkey Sausage & Cheese Ciabatta Sandwich uses a premium turkey sausage patty, an egg white round, and cheddar on a whole grain ciabatta roll, with 16 grams of protein per sandwich.
Read the numbers as a trade-off, not a ranking. The burger sandwich gives you the brioche bun and beef patty experience; the frittata and ciabatta give you lighter builds and a stated protein count. Only the two Delights items list protein grams in the catalog facts, so treat the burger's protein content as unstated rather than assuming it is higher or lower.
Reheating and texture expectations
These are microwave-first products, and that shapes what you should expect. A brioche bun will soften rather than crisp when reheated, and a fully cooked beef patty reheats to a moist, dense texture rather than a fresh-off-the-grill sear. If crust matters to you, the pan-fry route is the better match: the All Natural Regular Premium Pork Sausage is made to be sliced and pan fried, so you control the browning.
Regular Premium Pork Sausage
For the burger, frittata, and ciabatta sandwiches, follow the package directions and avoid over-heating, which is the most common way a good frozen breakfast sandwich turns rubbery. Let the sandwich rest briefly before eating so the cheese settles instead of sliding off.
Decision rules for choosing your frozen breakfast
- Choose the brioche burger if you want a beef patty: The Protein Breakfast Burger Brioche is the only option in this set with a flame-broiled beef burger and a brioche bun, and it is fully cooked for a quick reheat. Pick it for the beef-and-brioche experience, not for a stated protein number.
- Choose a Delights item if protein grams are your deciding factor: The ciabatta sandwich lists 16 grams of protein and the frittata lists 13 grams; the burger's protein content is not stated in the catalog facts. If you need a number to compare, the Delights items are the ones that give you one.
- Choose the pork sausage if you want to cook, not reheat: The All Natural Regular Premium Pork Sausage is made to be sliced and pan fried, so you get browning and texture control that a microwave sandwich cannot match. Best when you have five extra minutes and want a fresh-cooked patty.
- Check the price against what you are actually buying: Catalog prices here run from USD 2.70 for the pork sausage to USD 7.79 for the ciabatta sandwich, with the brioche burger at USD 5.05. Each is discounted from a higher comparison price. Compare cost per breakfast, not just sticker price, since serving counts differ by product.
Product facts to compare
- Breakfast Protein Burger Brioche: Fully cooked, heat-and-enjoy sandwich with a flame-broiled beef burger, peppered egg, and sharp cheddar cheese inside soft, fluffy brioche buns. This is the only option here built around a beef burger and a brioche bun, so choose it when that specific combination is what you want, not when you want the lightest sandwich.
- Delights Bacon & Spinach Frittata: Bacon and spinach frittata in a fluffy egg muffin, with 13 grams of protein per serving. A stated protein count and a lighter build make this the better pick if you want a smaller, egg-forward breakfast rather than a burger.
- Delights Egg Whites, Turkey Sausage & Cheese Ciabatta Sandwiches: Egg white, premium turkey sausage patty, and cheddar on a whole grain ciabatta roll, with 16 grams of protein per sandwich. The highest stated protein count of the three, and the closest substitute if you want a sandwich format without beef or brioche.
- All Natural* Regular Premium Pork Sausage: Premium pork sausage seasoned with a signature spice blend and 9 grams of protein per serving; slice and pan fry the patties. The only item here you cook yourself, so it suits anyone who wants control over browning and texture instead of a microwave reheat.
Who should buy the brioche breakfast burger
Best for
- Anyone who wants a beef-based breakfast sandwich with no cooking, just reheating
- People who prefer a soft brioche bun over a biscuit, English muffin, or ciabatta roll
- Busy mornings, midday breaks, or relaxed weekends when convenience matters more than a lighter build
Not for
- Shoppers who need a stated protein count to compare; the Delights Egg Whites, Turkey Sausage & Cheese Ciabatta lists 16 grams and the Delights Bacon & Spinach Frittata lists 13 grams
- Anyone who wants a crisp, freshly griddled texture, which points to pan-frying the All Natural Regular Premium Pork Sausage instead
- People looking for the lowest-cost breakfast in this set, since the pork sausage is priced at USD 2.70
