Ingredients
- 3 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups super fine blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream or milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 cup feta cheese* you can use a different type of cheese based on your personal preference
- 1/2 cup gouda cheese* you can use a different type of cheese based on your personal preference
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar for the top of the scones* optional
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing over the cooked scones* optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir until cream cheese is smooth with no clumps.
- Add the super fine almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter. Stir until combined. Then fold in the feta and gouda cheese, do not over mix.
- Lightly sprinkle almond flour onto a cutting board and turn the dough onto the floured surface. Pat the dough out into a disk that is between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal portions. Remember, you want the dough to be nice and thick like the photos.
- Chill the dough 15 minutes. This is important.
- Place the scones onto a greased or silicone-lined baking sheet. Top with additional cheese if desired. You can also use Everything but the Bagel seasoning or sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. If desired, brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter before serving.
