Quiche Lorraine Scones

Quiche Lorraine Scones

A combination of two culinary classic recipes, these delicious scones are great any time of day.

You'll Need
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • ½ cup cold butter, frozen
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, diced
  • 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tsp water)
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
Prep and Cook
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Prepare the bacon and allow it to cool completely before crumbling it. Add it to the diced cheese and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Grate the frozen butter on a box grater and add it to the flour, mixing it all together with your fingers until a mealy consistency is reached.
  • Lightly whip the eggs and milk and add to the flour and butter mixture. Add the bacon and cheese mixture. Using the end of a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it begins to blend together.
  • Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently. Press the dough into a one-inch thick circle and cut out using round cookie cutters or cut into wedges, like a pie.
  • Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle the tops with the oregano and bake for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of your scone) or until golden brown.
  • Good to Know: Make a batch of these scones on the weekend and freeze them for weekday breakfasts. They can either be frozen prior to baking, or baked and then stored in a freezer safe container.
