Coming in hot before a weekend full of brunching with these incredible Cheese and Scallion Scones!
Maybe these are scones, maybe they are more like biscuits, but regardless, you need them in your life this weekend. Flaky dough stuffed to the brim with a variety of cheeses, scallions and black pepper... omg it's perfect. I like to bake these Cheese and Scallion Scones off the morning of brunch so they are still hot when guests stroll in the front door. You can serve them up plain, with a side of really delish butter, or sandwich some bacon and eggs in between for a breakfast sandwich.
There's truly no bad way to serve them... and they couldn't be easier to make! Cheese and Scallion Scones FOR THE WIN! Get after it this weekend guys!
Savory Cheese and Scallion Scones
Flaky dough stuffed to the brim with a variety of cheeses, scallions and black pepper… omg it’s perfect. I like to bake these Cheese and Scallion Scones off the morning of brunch so they are still hot when guests stroll in the front door.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter cold, cut into chunks
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 3 oz shredded cheddar
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Next add the various cheeses, cream cheese and scallions. Next add the heavy cream. Fold everything together being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Form 12 medium sized mounds out of the dough. The size can vary depending on if you want to stretch the recipe to make more. Arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Once chilled, whisk the egg together with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the egg wash over the scones and bake for 16-20 minutes until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and serve with butter, scrambled eggs, bacon etc.
Notes
You can serve these up plain, with a side of really delish butter, or sandwich some bacon and eggs in between for a breakfast sandwich.

Oh my, I need those in my life right this minute!
Gaby, Gaby, Gaby... so glad you dove into savory scone making, those look mouthwatering! YUM 🙂
these look AMAZING
Beautiful scones, beautiful photography! I made sweet scones just last week and have been craving a more savory variation. This will be on my recipes-to-try list for the coming weekend. Thanks, Gaby!
I think I'm going to start calling you the Scone Princess or something of that nature. These look absolutely phenomenal, and if there even half as good as your completely addictive cranberry scones, then I'm in trouble. You should write a scone cookbook! 🙂
These look like they have the perfect texture for scones - well done!
Your cheese and scallion scones sound amazing. Love that you use 3 cheeses in these. Starving now thank you!!
Gaby, These look delish! I could just stick my hand inside my screen and grab one! YUM!
I made something very similar for the Nat'l Food Bloggers Bake Sale back in April, but they included bacon! You can check them out here:

Yours look great, Gaby! I can see why you're addicted to them for breakfast!
Mmm! I love savory scones. Great post!
They look so flaky and tasty and the pics are beautiful too!
Thanks Cathy!! xoxo
Tasty idea! I'm sometimes hesitant with scones because they can be made poorly, but this looks fantastic.
I hear ya Nicole! I always stay away from scones when I am out to eat because they are dry and gross - but homemade scones are the way to go!! 🙂
Now I'm really sorry I had oatmeal this morning!! These look positively scrumptious. I have some scallions out in the garden - could you come and make some of these for me?????
oh how i love a savory scone. do you deliver?
hahah delivery only for you Suz!
WOW - these look incredible. And you're right, it would be impossible to have just one.
I know right!?!? I had at least 3 throughout the day yesterday! whoops 🙂
