Cheesy Zucchini & Sundried Tomato Scones
Its zucchini season, and I don’t know about you but the garden is overflowing them! I’ve been cooking them, baking with them, and juicing them. Just kidding on that last one, but I have been using them as much as possible to make sure they don’t go to waste. I wanted to make something creative with them, like a savory baked good type recipe. I saw that I had some sundried tomatoes in the pantry, and it clicked! What about a cheesy zucchini & sundried tomato scone? So, I went to work and brought this idea to life. They did not disappoint. Between the crispy cheesy and the tart flavor from the sun dried tomato, mmm these are perfect. To prove my point, my husband loooooved them, and he’s not about that veggie life. These are simple to make, but do require 3 bowls, and a cookie sheet. BUT well worth it because your family will devour these. I got 10-11 scones out of this, but you can cut them up to be as big or small as you prefer (after they bake). The reason you can do this, is because you only mark the lines with this recipe, so you are baking it “whole”. Then after it bakes you can cut into the sections you prefer.

Next add the chunks of butter into the flour mixture. Using your hands, combine the butter with the flour mixture, until little clumps form. Next add the zucchini mixture to the flour mixture.
