This solution doesn't need any code in code behind and that makes it simpler solution.

And MenuItem is represented as:

public class MenuItemViewModel : BaseViewModel
    {
        /// 

        /// Initializes a new instance of the  class.
        /// 
        /// The parent view model.
        public MenuItemViewModel(MenuItemViewModel parentViewModel)
        {
            ParentViewModel = parentViewModel;
            _childMenuItems = new ObservableCollection();
        }

        private ObservableCollection _childMenuItems;
        /// 

        /// Gets the child menu items.
        /// 
        /// The child menu items.
        public ObservableCollection ChildMenuItems
        {
            get
            {
                return _childMenuItems;
            }
        }

        private string _header;
        /// 

        /// Gets or sets the header.
        /// 
        /// The header.
        public string Header
        {
            get
            {
                return _header;
            }
            set
            {
                _header = value; NotifyOnPropertyChanged("Header");
            }
        }

        /// 

        /// Gets or sets the parent view model.
        /// 
        /// The parent view model.
        public MenuItemViewModel ParentViewModel { get; set; }

        public virtual void LoadChildMenuItems()
        {

        }
    }

The concrete MenuItems can be either instantiated directly or you could make your own SubTypes through inheritance.
