Jalapeno Pepper Jack Scones
These grain-free savory Jalapeno Pepper Jack Scones have become our new weakness lately. I have always been a sweet scone fan but recently salty n’ spice have been my fixation.
My husband loves to eat them for breakfast with his coffee. You can also enjoy them for brunch, a snack, or even served as a side with dinner. Just serve them with a little warm butter on top and you may catch a little taste of heaven.
Last week I made chili for dinner and served these as a side with it. MYyyy goodness let me tell you- I think we ate one too many scones and were too full to finish the chili. So just to cue you in … be prepared – ha!
These Jalapeno cheese scones require very minimal effort to make. Start to finish in less than 40 minutes.
Sticks And Scones
If you’ve never been introduced to savory scones let me give you the quick ” Natalie ” run down of what you can expect.
Scones are not biscuits, although they do tend to have some similarities. Biscuits are more fluffy and flaky whereas scones are typically more drier with a crumbly texture.
