Grill or pan-fry the tomato halves (cut side down) for 3–4 minutes.

6

Cook hash browns according to package directions or fry until golden and crisp.

7

Heat baked beans gently in a small pot or microwave.

Toast & Assemble:

8

Toast the bread slices and butter generously.

10

Add optional extras like avocado, halloumi, or greens if desired.

Recipe Notes :

  • Vegemite Lovers: Spread a thin layer on toast for an authentic Australian touch.

  • Make It Lighter: Opt for grilled vegetables or swap sausages for smoked salmon or tofu for a healthier version.

  • Serving Tip: Pair with a cup of strong coffee or fresh orange juice to complete the café experience.

  • Customizable: Feel free to add your favorite elements—Australians love to personalize their brekkie plates.

  • Presentation: Arrange all components neatly on large plates for an appealing and appetizing presentation.
