Start frying the bacon in a pan for about 3 minutes until it begins to render fat.

Add chopped onion to the pan and fry until it becomes transparent.

Once the onions are transparent, add grated carrots and mix them in.

Add minced garlic after the carrots and mix well.

Once the carrots are soft, gradually add bread crumbs to the mixture, mixing as you go.

Crack eggs into the pan and scramble them with the other ingredients until fully combined.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix carefully to avoid spilling.

Transfer the farofa to a bowl and serve.
