Mix It Up
The fun part about these scones is how easily you can make them your own. Before baking, stir in or top with savory add-ins. For example:
- Bacon & Scallion: Cook and crumble some crispy bacon, and add chopped green onion (spring onion) for a classic combo.
- Jalapeño: Toss in some chopped jalapeños (pickled or fresh) for a spicy kick—cheddar balances the heat nicely.
- Herbs & Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Chop some sun-dried tomatoes and mix in chopped basil or oregano for a Mediterranean flair.
- Olive & Cheese: Stir in chopped olives and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a briny, tangy twist.
- Mixed Cheeses: Use a blend (cheddar + gruyère or pepper jack + Colby) to layer flavors.
These are just starters—as one recipe author reminds us, “you’re only limited by your imagination” when it comes to add-ins. Feel free to experiment with leftover vegetables, ham, or herbs.
