ZUCCHINI CHEDDAR SCONES

My favorite savory scone recipe loaded with sharp cheddar cheese and fresh zucchini! Who knew veggies should flavor this desirable!

When I don’t know what to make for dinner or don’t experience like cooking dinner at all I often opt to make breakfast alternatively. Pull a few scones from the freezer, fry more than one eggs, add few slices of avocado and viola a meal is born! anybody else keen on the almighty breakfast for dinner state of affairs? It’s a BBN favorite.

Ultimate week I reached into the freezer to grab some ham and cheese scones (have you attempted them but?) and plenty to my hungry/hangry horror realized they were all long gone. Worst second of my week! Kidding. I’m a “make lemonade out of lemons” form of female, so after a bit digging inside the fridge and some creative head scratching, these Zucchini Cheddar Scones had been created.
