Bread alternative

I want to reduce my bread intake to zero, but need something to go with my poached eggs in a morning. I love mopping up the yolk. Any carb free ideas?

If you look it up, there's a recipe for chaffles - cheese based waffles that a lot of people on the keto uk subreddit like. I can't get on with them really so just avoid bread or replacements!

Add a side of bacon.

Make a shakshuka type of thing? I rather like a bowl of baked beans with an egg microwave-poached in it, eaten with a spoon.

Couple slices of halloumi, air fried for 8 minutes. Make the perfect accompaniment for fried eggs. In fact I've literally just had that for breakfast.

Chaffles sound interesting!

Why not have soda bread or a healthier alternative to white? Or even just one slice of toast?

I make chaffles. I use 3 egg white and 2 whole eggs when I’m making a batch, rather than 5 whole eggs. That avoids them tasting too eggy imo.

Alternatively these flatbreads are nice. They a slightly similar to Derbyshire oatcakes. She waffles on a lot I’m sorry, but they are worth the effort….

Both of these freeze well.

mushrooms
finely chopped spinach, steamed.
Handful of cooked, wholemeal rice
low carb cracker like Ryvita.

I've just remembered this - it's not that much like bread imo but is nice toasted.
It's mostly seeds and nuts but does also have quite a bit of rolled oats so I don't know if it would be as low carb as you want?
