Best Frozen Breakfasts of 2025, According to Our Taste Tests

A whole award for frozen breakfast foods? You bet! There’s a lot of ‘em out there. This year we tried everything from breakfast sandwiches and frozen waffles to Jimmy Dean’s full line-up. And we were truly wowed by two entries: one that’s perfect for busy vegans and another that both gluten-free folks and gluten-full folks can agree on.

Amy’s Breakfast Tofu Scramble

Target

I tasted this meal when I was searching for the best vegan frozen meals and it really did it for me. The tofu is savory and tender and scrambled with a ton of vegetables so it feels super wholesome and healthy. It comes with shredded potatoes and a really delicious tomato sauce that tastes fresh and zesty. There’s not enough tomato sauce for our tastes, but it’s still one of the best frozen breakfast items we had all year.

Winner

Start Right Waffle Sliders Sausage & Cheese

Gluten-Free Mall

It’s still impossible to believe that this frozen breakfast sandwich is actually gluten free—but it is! It’s like the best fast food breakfast sandwich ever but it’s cheaper and ready after just a couple minutes in the microwave. The sausage is classic breakfast sausage. The gluten free waffles have just a touch of sweetness. And the American cheese is melty and gooey and brings everything together. Yes, this is the best frozen breakfast we had this year—but don’t let that stop you from enjoying one of these babies at midnight.

About the Author

Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients. Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now). Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test! Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
