Cheddar Chive Breakfast Scones
Flaky, savoury cheddar-chive scones.
These savoury scones are tender and flaky thanks to cold butter and Greek yogurt, with sharp cheddar and plenty of chives in every bite. Two scoops of whey make two scones a filling breakfast with coffee. Grate the butter frozen and they're nearly foolproof.
Ingredients
For 4 portions.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 scoops unflavored whey protein isolate (about 2/3 cup)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, grated
- 3 oz reduced-fat sharp cheddar, shredded
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
Method
Heat the oven to 400°F. Whisk the flour, whey, baking powder and salt. Toss in the grated butter, most of the cheese and the chives.
Whisk the yogurt, egg and milk, stir into the flour until a shaggy dough forms, then pat into a 7-inch round and cut into 8 wedges. Top with the rest of the cheese.

Tips
- Grate the butter straight from the freezer so it stays in flakes.
- Handle the dough as little as possible; overworking makes scones tough.
