Baked beans — Choose a vegan brand that suits your taste preferences, or prepare homemade baked beans using plant-based ingredients.
Grilled tomatoes — Use ripe tomatoes and grill them until they develop a slight char for a smoky flavor.
Sautéed mushrooms — Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and develop a golden brown color.
Hash browns — Grate the potatoes and squeeze out any excess moisture before cooking to achieve crispy results.

Tips & Tricks

For a protein boost, add some vegan bacon or tofu scramble to your breakfast plate.
Experiment with different spices and herbs to season your sautéed mushrooms and grilled tomatoes.
If you prefer a lighter option, use whole grain bread instead of hash browns.
Serve with a side of avocado slices or guacamole for added creaminess.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, consider placing the sausages, grilled tomatoes, and hash browns on top of the spinach bed. This will create a visually appealing contrast of colors and textures.
