Ingredients
  

  • 2 vegan English muffins halved
  • 4 slices of vegan smoked salmon available at specialty stores or online

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Muffins: Toast the vegan English muffins until they are golden brown.
  • Sautéing the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and red onion. Sauté until the spinach is wilted and the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Kid-Friendly Adaptation:  Kids can sometimes be wary of unfamiliar flavors. For a child-friendly version of this dish, consider using plain toasted bread or bagels instead of English muffins for a more familiar base. You can also replace the vegan smoked salmon with vegan scrambled 'eggs' or thinly sliced avocado. The vegan hollandaise sauce can be made milder, or you can use a simple vegan mayo or vegan cream cheese spread. Garnish with a sprinkle of vegan cheese and serve with a side of their favorite fruits to make it a balanced and appealing meal.
