Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the vegetarian sausages and hash browns on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the sausages and hash browns are baking, clean the button mushrooms and slice them into thick pieces. Halve the cherry or plum tomatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with half the salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden and tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the halved tomatoes cut side down. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly charred and soft, then remove and set aside.
Heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm. Keep it warm on low heat until ready to serve.
In a clean frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and fry to your preferred doneness (sunny-side up is traditional). Alternatively, you can scramble or poach the eggs if desired.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy. Butter them lightly if preferred.
Once everything is cooked, assemble the breakfast on two plates: add 2 vegetarian sausages, 2 hash browns, a generous serving of baked beans, sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, 2 eggs, and 1 slice of toast per plate.
Serve immediately with your favorite condiments such as ketchup or brown sauce.
