CHEESY TOMATO BREAKFAST SCONES
CHEESY TOMATO BREAKFAST SCONES
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup salted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp whipping cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda in a food processor; process to combine. Add butter and process, using an on/off motion, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add oats, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, tomatoes and green onions; stir to combine. Add buttermilk and stir just until combined.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough gently and roll out 3/4 inch thick. Using a floured 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds.
- Place rounds on a parchment paper-lined large rimmed baking sheet. Cover and freeze for 10 minutes. This helps the scones keep their shape.
- Remove baking sheet from freezer and uncover scones. Brush tops with cream. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until light golden.
