Farofa de ovo is a classic Brazilian side dish that brings a delightful crunch and savoury flavour to any meal. This vegetarian version focuses on the nutty profile of toasted manioc flour, perfectly balanced by the richness of scrambled eggs and the slight sharpness of fresh spring onions. It is a staple accompaniment found on dinner tables across Brazil, celebrated for its unique texture and ability to soak up delicious juices from main courses.
Quick to prepare and incredibly versatile, this homemade farofa is an excellent addition to a traditional feijoada or a simple midweek dinner. The combination of butter-toasted flour and soft eggs provides a comforting, high-protein side that feels both rustic and sophisticated. Serve it warm as a texturally interesting alternative to rice or potatoes to elevate your next Latin American-inspired feast.

Ingredients for Toasted Manioc Flour With Eggs and Spring onions (Farofa de Ovo e Cebolinha)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
350ml manioc flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 spring onions (white and green parts), thinly sliced on a bias
5 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make Toasted Manioc Flour With Eggs and Spring onions (Farofa de Ovo e Cebolinha)
Back to contentsMelt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the manioc flour and toast it to a light golden colour, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes. Make sure to stir constantly, otherwise the flour will burn. Set aside.
In a nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat, and cook the spring onions until they just start to soften. Save a few slices of spring onion for garnish.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the spring onions and scramble them lightly, being careful not to overcook them. Add the toasted manioc flour and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour into a serving dish and garnish with the reserved spring onions.
