Cheese scones for that extra special coffee or breakfast treat

Baking is fun and there’s few things as great as a freshly baked scone with your tea, coffee or breakfast. Scones come from all over the world but are most variations are based on the British style. These cheese scones add that extra savoury element that everybody can enjoy and ours has another secret. These treats are great with a sweet or savoury topping and go great with breakfast.

Cheese scones toppings

If you want to, an aged cheddar works great as it packs a flavour punch, but the addition of cayenne pepper works well here too. For savoury toppings, try an extra slice of white cheddar and some cream and butter. When it comes to breakfast, enjoy with some cream cheese and smoked salmon. However, the most iconic sweet topping is some whipped cream and your favourite jam.
