Start by using 1 egg per person, so for this recipe, use 6 eggs.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.

Crack the eggs one by one into the skillet, checking for any bad eggs before adding them all.

Do not mix the eggs immediately; let the egg whites set first.

Season the eggs with salt and white pepper to taste.

Once the egg whites are firm, break the yolks and mix them with the whites.

Add 1 cup of manioc flour to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

If you prefer a moister consistency, add more olive oil and additional manioc flour, up to 1/4 cup more if desired.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or white pepper if necessary.

For garnish, add chopped green onions before serving.
