Cheddar Bacon Scones
Last Updated on April 15, 2020 by Janell
Sometimes I see a recipe online and I know I just have to make it! I go to my shopping list and add any ingredients I need so I can make it in the very near future.
Bacon and cheddar is a great combination. When I first saw this recipe at Fifteen Spatulas, it reminds me of a bacon egg and cheese biscuit - without the egg. I had never made scones before but it looked delicious! It wasn't that difficult and it was scrumptious!
I can't wait to eat the leftovers - although I am sure they taste best out of the oven. Our whole family loved these!
If you prefer sweet scones - visit my recipe for Raspberry White Chocolate Scones. I love the combination of raspberries with white chocolate!
Cheddar Bacon Scones
- 6 - 7 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 5 tablespoon butter, grated
- ⅔ cup heavy cream + 2 Tablespoons
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400*. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
- In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cheese, bacon, and onions.
- Grate the butter and mix it into the dry mixture until crumbly. (I just use my hands to mix it.)
- Make a well in the middle and add the heavy cream. Start with ⅔ cups and add more if necessary. You want it to just be moist and you do not want to over mix it.
- Move it from the bowl to the cookie sheet and form it into a circle. Cut it into 8 triangles.
- Cook for 25 minutes until edges are brown and crispy.
It's really not that difficult. I was able to prepare it in about 15 minutes and that included microwaving the bacon. Do you have a favorite scone recipe? Im hooked! I love how these tasted!

These sound so yummy! What did you serve them with? Were they more of an appetizer or accompaniment? If a side, did you have a dip or something like that? Thank you!
We had them for breakfast with juice. My husband also suggested having them with dinner. They are really good whenever. (I actually like it with a cold glass of Coke 🙂 )
I noticed this was posted a while ago but I just came across it on Pinterest and though I would give it ago since I have a love for bacon cheddar scones. However after reading though your instructions I came to realize that you never tell us to put in the bacon. I assumed it went in before the cream?
Thanks so much for letting me know!! I have updated the post.
Can u use something other than heavy cream? Regular milk or almond milk maybe?
You could try it. The heavy cream is a little thicker. If you try it let me know how it comes out.
I'm going to make these,today. And instead of scallions, i'm going to swap ìt out for Jalapeno peppers. 💥
That sounds awesome! Let me know how they taste!
I pretty much use these ingredients of bacon & cubes of cheddar with green onion in my Irish Soda Bread. And yes it like this recipe are divine.
Kari here again, sorry I also use buttermilk in the soda bread. Buttermilk makes most baked good moist & delisious
Thanks so much for your comments 🙂 Irish Soda bread sounds amazing!!
I used this recipe a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t have heavy cream at the time so I used evaporated milk. They turned out very good! I’m making them again today but bought the cream...they are in the over...we will see if it makes a big difference. I also used prosciutto and gruyere cheese instead of bacon and cheddar. We shall see!
That sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
These are delicious but must be eaten warm. Love a savory scone especially with soup or chili. Will definitely make these many times in the future.
Yes - they are the best warm! Im so glad you like them.
Any thoughts on freezing these? Before or after baking?
I have never frozen them - but I would think that I would freeze them after I bake them.
