Description

These Halloumi Herb Scones are herby, buttery, delicious and are perfect for a bread basket on a Thanksgiving table or a mid day treat. Rosemary, thyme and sage give these scones flavor but the Halloumi adds richness and saltiness. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 stick butter cold
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
  • 9 oz halloumi cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Cut the halloumi cheese into bite sized pieces and place in refrigerator. 
  3. Mix together flour, fresh herbs and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  4. Cut butter into cubes and scatter in flour mixture. With a fork or pastry cutter, cut butter into mixture while rotating bowl until the pieces of butter are the size of a pea. 
  5. Beat one egg and set aside. 
  6. Add halloumi, heavy cream and the beat egg. Mix with spoon to combine all ingredients. 
  7. Use hands to form into a small, flat disk. 
  8. On a lightly floured surface make a 2″-2 1/2″ by 8″ inch disk and cut 8 triangles. 
  9. Brush heavy cream on top and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy right away! 

Notes

  1. Make sure everything remains cold when combining ingredients. Place in freezer or fridge in between steps if necessary. 
  2. Rotate the bowl when cutting the butter into the flour. It will ensure even butter pieces throughout. 
  3. These scones will last stored in an airtight container up to 2 days, but can be frozen up to 3 months.
