- Be sure to use fresh rosemary for the best flavor.
- If you don't have cream cheese, you can use butter instead.
- Instead of cream cheese, use plain Greek yogurt. This substitution adds a boost of protein and tangy flavor to the scones.
- Instead of baking mix, use whole wheat flour. This substitution adds fiber and a nuttier flavor to the scones.
Herb and Cheese Scones Replace the rosemary with 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano, basil, and thyme. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese of your choice to the dough. Bake as directed.
Creamy Mushroom Soup: A creamy mushroom soup is the perfect accompaniment to these savory rosemary scones. The mild flavor of the soup complements the rosemary and cream cheese in the scones, creating a delicious and balanced meal.
Garlic-Roasted Asparagus: Garlic-roasted asparagus is the perfect side dish to go with the creamy mushroom soup and rosemary scones. The garlic and asparagus add a flavorful contrast to the mildness of the soup and the savory scones. Roasting the asparagus also brings out its natural sweetness, creating a delicious and balanced meal.
