Carl's Jr., Hardee's partner with Hillshire Farm for breakfast offering

April 30, 2013

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's have partnered with Hillshire Farm for a new breakfast offering. The brands' signature Made From Scratch Biscuits will be the base for the new Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, available for a limited time.

The offering is now available at all Hardee's locations, as well as all Carl's Jr. locations that serve the Made from Scratch Biscuits. It includes a Hillshire Farm split smoked sausage link, egg and melted American cheese. Carl's Jr. locations not yet serving Made from Scratch Biscuits will offer the same ingredients on toasted sourdough bread, as the Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich.

"We always look for premium quality ingredients to pair with our famous made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits and the Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage was a perfect fit," said Brad Haley, chief marketing officer at CKE Restaurants, parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. "We brown the split sausage on the grill to bring out the flavor and put it on top of eggs and melting American cheese inside of a hot biscuit, and breakfast doesn't really get much better than that."

The Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit starts at $2.59 and is also available as a combo with Hash Rounds and coffee, orange juice or a soft drink for $4.09. The breakfast sandwich version sells for $2.99 as an entrée and $4.49 as a combo. Prices may vary by location.
