I woke up this morning with a craving for something savory and cheesy. I had some leftover sharp cheddar and jalapeños in the fridge, so I decided to make these scones. They were the perfect combination of sharp and spicy, and they were so easy to make!
I love that these scones are so versatile. You can add any type of cheese or vegetable that you like. I think next time I'll try them with some crumbled bacon and green onions. The possibilities are endless!
