Light and fluffy olive and herb scones – great for meal prepping breakfasts and snacks. They are moist and aromatic with complex savoury flavours, delicious with various toppings or nothing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n

These Olive and Herb scones<\/strong> are inspired from the Cheezy Herbed Scones from the Protein Ninja<\/a> that I tried out a while ago and snapped a shot<\/a> for Instagram. Although they had turned out wonderful back then, I knew I wanted to play around with the ingredients and tweak the recipe more to my liking. Two years and a bit later, I decided to bring my own version to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made quite a bit of changes and each time I tested the recipe out I changed a little something – the flour, the spice, the herbs, the type\/amount of oil. But I kept the base really quite the same. My version is lighter than Terry’s one, I’ve used less oil as I prefer my scones with a fluffier texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, I don’t have to be quite as mindful about the toppings when the dough itself is lighter on oil – I can enjoy these scones with a generous smear of butter because that’s how I love to serve them!<\/p>\n\n\n

These savoury scones are tasty and really easy to make. They can be served plain, with butter or margarine, in various ways with different toppings for breakfast or any time of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They would great for meal prepping your school or work breakfasts or snacks. You could spread them with some hummus and serve with veggies or a salad for a simple lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They keep well for several days in the fridge. I think they could even be served as dinner rolls to go with just about anything – vegetable side dishes, soups, curries or stews.<\/p>\n\n\n

Loaded with mixed halkidiki green<\/a> and oil-cured black olives<\/a>, these cheesy herbed scones can be made in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. They bake for 20 – 22 minutes and prepping time is less than 10 minutes. They don’t need to be rolled out and cut into circles, unless you want to. Just shape the dough in one or two large flatten balls and cut each ball into six triangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring onions (or scallions) and fresh thyme make a nice combination. Parsley and basil will add somewhat of a Mediterranean touch to them. But, you can really swap in any fresh herbs that you like or have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n
