Vegetarian Breakfast Tostadas

If you've ever wanted an excuse to eat Tex-Mex food for breakfast (🙋🏻‍♀️), these breakfast tostadas are just the thing!

They're the perfect halfway point between a full English breakfast and a vegetarian taco - crispy tortillas topped with slightly spicy refried beans, garlicky spinach, tomatoes, and a fried egg. Breakfast has never looked so good!

One of my favourite things about these breakfast tostadas is how customisable they are. The toppings can be swapped for any number of other things, which makes them perfect to serve if you have friends over for brunch, especially if you're dealing with a variety of dietary preferences! Just prepare a selection of toppings, and let your guests assemble their own.
