Bronco, the high-protein, no-seed-oil breakfast bagel, is launching exclusively at Target in two signature flavors: Turkey Sausage, Egg & Cheese and Turkey Bacon, Egg & Cheese.
While some frozen breakfast sandwiches cause complaints related to texture, Bronco's proprietary bagel recipe was specifically formulated for the freezer and delivers a soft bite (or a crispy one, if desired, when prepared in the air fryer.) Connor Blakley, Founder of The DropOut Companies, said "I was tired of frozen bagels that fell apart, tasted like cardboard, and had a rubbery texture. Nobody wants that."
Appealing to "anytime meals" beloved by Gen Z and Millennial families, Bronco's is easy to enjoy without complicated preparation and aims to introduce consumers to their new favorite breakfast sandwich.
