For a healthier, fibre-rich, grain-free, low carb alternative to bread, try sweet potato toast. Thin slices of sweet potato are lightly roasted in the oven in the time it takes you to fry and egg and prep a side salad for breakfast.
Benefits of sweet potato toast

How to make easy sweet potato toast
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Thinly slice a sweet potato to a size of your liking in 1/4 inch strips. Some trim off the ends, slice it in half then cut strips lengthwise. There is no right or wrong way! What I suggest for the most nutrients, is to keep the peel on the sweet potato.
Transfer the sweet potato slices to a baking sheet or dish and drizzle them with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Roast them for 10 minutes on one side, flip them over and roast another 10 minutes.
Serve them as a base for a fried or perfectly poached egg with a side salad and sweet Strawberry Basil vinaigrette.
