Deliciously gluten-free and high-protein vegan and vegetarian big breakfast or brunch recipe. Start your day the way it’s meant to be! This guy boasts creamy avocado, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms and homemade baked beans, all stacked on top of a hearty lentil patty! This is the PERFECT post-gym or weekend vegan big breakfast recipe. The avocado, homemade baked beans and lentil patty give your body much-needed pure, plant-based protein. This will keep you full all morning and replenish your body protein after a hard workout or a sweaty dynamic yoga class. Avocado also has essential fatty acids and, surprisingly, is full of fibre and water! The grilled tomato in this vegan big breakfast recipe adds to your daily dose of vitamin C. And mushrooms contain B vitamins, selenium and potassium! What a recipe!

I like to cook all pre-made food such as patties/falafels/schnitzels/burgers etc. in my sandwich press as it takes way less time and doesn’t require cleaning (if you put them in between a piece of baking paper)! Pop them in before you start preparation and they’ll be cooked by the time you’re done!
