I have a job through the summer testing recipes for a savory baking cookbook, and my freezer is stuffed with odds and ends of different breads, puff pastry hand pies and cheese muffins. You’d think maybe I wouldn’t have the appetite for one more savory breakfast treat (and you’d be mostly right), but these Cheddar-Scallion Scones looked to good to skip out on.

Cheddar cheese and a bit of paprika make these bake up beautiful golden. I egg washed my biscuits and decorated them with some extra scallion greens. I was annoyed to forget the mustard powder in the dough (what kind of lousy recipe tester am I?!), so I sprinkled a bit on top at the half-time baking rotation. This cheddar-scallion combo makes these good for not just a scrambled egg breakfast, but as a sidekick to any number of things…we had a couple with BBQ chicken the other night. I made six petite scones from a 1/3 batch, so I have a few added to my freezer stash of savory goodies, but I have a feeling they still won’t last very long.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!
