About

These fiery little scones require just a few minutes’ work before they’re popped in the oven – ideal for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or any time of day. I like mine with a poached egg for breakfast, and I’ve heard a rumour that it’s pretty good stuffed with crispy bacon, too.

Ingredients

100 g mature Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp pickled jalapenos from a jar, drained
125

Method

Finely grate your Cheddar cheese and very finely chop your jalapenos. Combine in a small bowl and set to one side.

Measure the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl, then add the milk or water, oil and one of your eggs. Beat thoroughly until they combine into a uniform mixture. Add your baking powder, salt and pepper, cheese and jalapenos, and mix again.
