Cheese and Herb Scones & Breakfast Sandwiches. A great standard recipe for savoury scones that are delicious to serve with hearty soups… and they make the start of delicious breakfast sandwiches too.
Cheese and Herb Scones
Don’t these savoury scones look so appealing? We find them to be very versatile indeed.
We serve them with soups and stews especially, where the delicious herb flavours will compliment either of those hearty choices.

Great with soups and stews too.

Love this recipe! I've used it as a base recipe for many scone variations. When making savory scones I decrease the sugar to 1/4 cup, I find this is a good balance. But with a super sharp cheddar, 1/2 cup sugar does work well. Enjoy!

Recipe was easy to follow, but I do feel like the 1/2 cup of sugar was to much and they were too sweet for my liking. Will make them again but tweak a few things.

I think you are probably right. I might revisit this recipe myself.

I made these today for an after-work treat for my guys - I threw in half a cup of crumbled bacon as an added bonus :) They were delicious! I froze half of them in sandwich containers so they can take them in their lunches - at their request :)
