While the rest of the world is perfecting their Christmas cookie recipes to entice Santa this year I think I’m going to take a different approach. Instead of cookies, I’m planning on piling Santa’s plate high with these freshly baked savory white cheddar scones. I figure we may get a few extra brownie points for swapping it up a bit!
I have always loved sweet scones, but I have to admit that savory scones are really where it is at! Thanks to Pamela’s Biscuit & Scone Mix these savory gems take less than 10 minutes to prep making them a perfect addition to your weekday breakfast routine and a much easier (and dare I say tastier) addition to Santa’s cookie plate.
We’ve tried all sorts of savory scone variations lately and honestly, we had a really hard time choosing which version was our family’s favorite! Ultimately, these white cheddar, sun-dried pepper, and rosemary scones won all 4 of us over, but the sun-dried tomato, basil, & goat cheese and roasted red pepper, chive, & feta versions we have been devouring lately are worth mentioning too. The base recipe for all 3 versions are the same, all you have to do is swap out the cheese, veggies, and herbs in equal amounts. It’s a trifecta of savory scone deliciousness just in time for the holidays!
