Dunkin' Donuts ain't got nothing on this

In a desperate attempt to use the last of some really good local cream, I adopted this scone recipe from Leite's Culinaria and made breakfast scones. With scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and cheddar they are hearty enough to hold you until lunch (and even then you may only want a salad). I added some parsley because just meat and cheese looks awfully beige, added some sharp provolone to up the cheesy ante, and to the egg wash I added maple syrup with unfortunately didn't really come through in the end.

In the future I'll baste the turkey bacon with maple syrup before incorporating it into the dough. Chives or scallions would also be a welcome addition.

The amazingly yellow color brought to you by your incredibly generous neighbors who give you fresh eggs from their chickens.
