Let me just put it out there, savory scones are SO underrated. They’re perfect for any time of the day and are just as delicious as good old regular scones with jam and cream! I loved using vintage cheddar and Parmesan in these scones but you can sub whatever cheese you fancy and replace thyme with a different herb. Plus, they’ve only got 1g of sugar per serve but still have a sweet note thanks to Nuvia Baking.
