    • Vegan Breakfast Hash

    What to expect?

    To make a really filling and satisfying vegan breakfast hash, we fried an abundance of potatoes and colorful veggies like red bell peppers, green peas, and onions as a start. What’s more, we also added vegan sausages and crispy oyster mushrooms.

    The spices and juices from the vegan sausage will sweep through the veggies, while the cast-iron skillet will make all ingredients crispy and caramelized.

    Thanks to the meaty, sturdy texture of oyster mushrooms with the right seasoning, they can be a smoky, flavorful, and completely plant-based beef jerky substitute.

    Instructions

    Frying potatoes first

    1. Wash, peel and dice potatoes.
    2. Heat up a large cast-iron skillet* (we use the brand UnoCasa) over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of any high heat-resistent vegetable oil (like sunflower oil or coconut oil).
    3. Add diced potatoes and fry them for approx. 15-20 minutes. Use a slotted turner to make sure they will get crispy on all sides. Stir at the beginning more frequently as they tend to stick to the skillet. Season it with salt only.
    4. When it is ready, remove them from the skillet to a separate plate.

    Frying oyster mushroom crispy

    1. Shred pearl oyster mushrooms with your hand into pieces. No need to wash them or cut them. For more tips read our how to prepare oyster mushrooms article for the when and why.
    2. Use the same cast-iron skillet without washing it and add a bit more oil.
    3. Add the shredded mushrooms and the spice mix.
    4. Stir and fry mushrooms for 5-6 minutes or until they get as crispy as you see them on the below photo. You can gently push them down, and you can hear them sizzle. Medium-high heat will get them to the right texture.

    Finishing the breakfast hash

    1. When the oyster mushrooms are ready, lower the heat and add additional oil if you need it.
    2. Add chopped onion, thawed green peas, chopped bell peppers, and sliced vegan sausages.

    Cooking tips

    • Fry potatoes separately – Even if you cut potatoes into small cubes, they probably need more time to be cooked inside and get crispy on the outside compared to other vegetables. If you were to fry everything together, the potatoes will remain uncooked.
    • Fry mushrooms separately – All mushrooms release a certain amount of moisture. If you want your vegan breakfast hash to remain crispy, fry them separately from the other vegetables.

    Variations

    There are so many variations and things you can add, skip, or substitute. It all depends on your taste and the ingredients available to you. In the below list, we would like to give some examples which you may find useful when creating your own vegan breakfast hash combination.

    • Vegetables – We recommend adding veggies that are quick to soften in a skillet. So those where no pre-cooking is needed. These are zucchini, eggplant, other mushrooms like portobello mushrooms, butternut squash, sweet potato, spinach, kale, or other leafy greens.
    • Legumes – This hash can be a prime example of lazy vegan breakfast if you add canned legumes like chickpeas, corn, black beans, or any type of lentils.
    • Meat substitutes – Apart from sausages, you can add vegan bacon bits, vegan shredded chicken, pressed tofu, textured vegetable protein, or any other store-bought products like Beyond Meat or Impossible Meat.
    • Egg substitutes – You can make chickpea flour omelet, tofu scramble, or vegan fried eggs.
    • Vegan cheese – If you want a cheezy vegan hash, and have a favorite vegan cheese brand, then shred some at the top.

    Serving ideas

    While this vegan breakfast hash is filling and hearty on its own. You can add even more ingredients.

    • Choose toppings – If you want a Mexican vibe, top it with avocado, vegan sour cream, TVP taco meat, or a bit of salsa sauce and fresh cilantro.
    • Add toast – Turn it into a breakfast sandwich by adding a slice of crusty bread or a few biscuits.
    • Wrap it up – If you have some tortillas, wrap and roll to make a vegan breakfast burrito or quesadillas. If you need a homemade recipe, try these flourless, grain-free tortillas made of buckwheat and red lentils.
    • Breakfast for dinner – Have you thought of eating breakfast for dinner? This vegan breakfast hash recipe can become a full-course meal if you add mushroom meatballs, chickpea meatballs, eggplant meatballs, tofu meatballs, or these TVP meatballs. This juicy vegan lentil loaf is surely a yummy addition too.
    • Get creative – Serve it with sweet potato rice or add grains like quinoa, millet, or buckwheat.

    Storing ideas

    Dishes are usually best served fresh. That being said, you can store this vegan breakfast hash in an airtight container for 3-4 days in your fridge.

    When you are ready to serve them, reheat them in a frying pan or skillet. Potatoes tend to have a weird texture if you reheat them in the microwave.

    You can store oyster mushrooms easily up to a week in the fridge, or at room temperature for 1-2 days. For more tips, read our how to store oyster mushrooms article.

    We don’t recommend freezing it since potatoes, after thawing, lose their previous texture.

    FAQs

    How to get a crispy texture?

    The no. 1 thing you can do to reach that is to use a cast-iron skillet. Apart from that, you need oil and at least medium-high heat. You also need to void vegetables that release a lot of moisture, or fry them separately.

    How to replace meat in a breakfast hash?

    You can opt for store-bought bacon and breakfast sausages, but shredded oyster mushrooms can provide a surprisingly meaty, chewy texture, while teared tofu can add extra protein if you were after that. For more plant-based options, think of legumes and beans.
