Sundried Tomato and Bacon Scones
 
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (not oil packed), chopped*

1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp dried oregano, crushed

1/4 tsp garlic salt

1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed

6 to 8 slices of turkey bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled

3 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

1/4 cup 2% Greek Yogurt

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

In a large bowl combine flours, baking powder, oregano, garlic salt, parmesan cheese.  Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in chopped tomatoes, turkey bacon, and basil. 

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, eggs, milk; add all at once to flour mixture.  Stir with a fork just until moistened.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead dough gently until dough holds together.  Divide in half.  Pat or lightly roll each dough halt to a 7-inch circle.  Cut each circle in 8 wedges.

Place wedges 2 inches apart on a very large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake for 5 minutes.  Remove pan and sprinkle tops of scones with mozzerella cheese.  Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until tops are golden and cheese is melted.  Serve warm.

*NOTE: I used California Sundry Sundried Tomatoes, extra moist.
