“Ugh. MOM. Why can’t you make anything normal? Why can’t we have plain scones. Nothing in them. Just butter.”
And then both kids inhaled two, each, of these Bruschetta Scones.
I just sat there and gloated.
Needing something soft and so tired of cottage cheese, these scones were another recipe I made a few times after my dental surgery. I’ve only had sweet scones in the past and was intrigued by a savory option. They turned out really great!

Other Notes

Can u make the dough the night before and refrigerate to bake in the morning?
These were really good!
Can pine nuts be replaced with something else or omitted for those who have nut allergies?
Yep, just leave them out.
Can I freeze the scones prior to baking, to make fresh when I need them? If so, how long do they last in the freezer?
Amy, I’m just wondering why mine turned out green? I chopped everything in my food processor. Could that be it?
Maybe! Blending (instead of chopping) the basil, spinach, and olives all together into more of a liquid could cause the color to bleed into the dough.
Made these today. I didn’t have spinach and basil, so I chopped up a bunch of fennel fronds and they were delish. I think the recipe needs more salt, tho. But they were good. I had to cut my husband off at three!
Made these today using coconut oil instead of olive and kefir instead of milk and came out real dry. Wondering if maybe next time half kefir and and half milk would be better.
Will you adopt me, please? I promise I’ll never ask for anything “normal” or plain.
*Hugs*
