Full English Breakfast Made Vegan, The Perfect Father’s Day Breakfast

|Updated Jun 15, 2022

This Father's Day, surprise your loved one with a delicious breakfast in bed and really show them your appreciation with this entirely plant-based meal that's healthier than the real thing.

A Vegan Full English Breakfast is the ultimate morning feast. It’s a beautiful plate full of so many tasty things - ‘sausage’, ‘egg’, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, baked beans, and toast. It’s all incredibly flavorful and satiating, and will definitely keep you full for a long time.

Full English Breakfast is especially awesome for lazy weekend mornings. Serve it with hot tea and coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Traditionally Full English is made of sausage, bacon, scrambled or sunny-side-up eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast. By choosing plant-based alternatives you can easily veganize this classic without compromising on taste. Plus, you can also play around with the recipe to customize it, or add many more things to it:

Potatoes: Hash brown, roasted potato wedges, or onion-fried potato cubes
‘Bacon’: Get a store-bought brand or make your own out of mushrooms, rice paper, or tempeh
‘Black pudding’: If you can’t find it in a nearby supermarket, you can make your own mash with black beans and sautéed mushrooms
Sautéed veg: For little extra nutrients serve some sautéed or steamed spinach, broccoli, or green beans with your Full English
‘Egg’: For a softer scramble use a chickpea flour, split mung beans, or your favorite egg replacer
Fresh veg/fruit: Cucumber, avocado, radish, or bell pepper
Tomatoes: Use large, halved tomatoes or sweet little cherry tomatoes. Add a little balsamic vinegar for even more taste
Beans: Enhance the flavor of your baked beans by spicing them up with chili powder, liquid smoke, vegan Worcestershire sauce, mushroom sauce, or chopped fresh herbs
Sauce and condiments: For dipping serve your Full English with mustard, BBQ sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, or HP sauce (brown sauce).

You can prepare everything in separate pans and pots, so the ingredients are all fresh and hot. Or you can prepare everything after each other if you prefer to have fewer dirty dishes to wash. To keep things warm simply place the already cooked food in the oven at low temperature until you prepare the rest of the breakfast.
