These savoury blue cheese scones are perfect as a weekend breakfast paired with some homemade fig jam or a nibble for cocktails. Next time I will definitely add some bacon bits and use pecans instead of almonds. Not only delicious, this is also a very versatile recipe. Use any desired blue cheese, creamy and mild, like Danish Blue, or piquant and bold, like French Roquefort or Italian Gorgonzola.
|
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Whisk flour, baking powder and coconut sugar in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks like flaky breadcrumbs. Add crumbled blue cheese and toasted almonds and toss to coat.
- Drizzle in cream and mix with a wooden spoon until dough just begins to come together with a few bits of dry flour remaining. Transfer dough and any loose flour to a lightly floured work surface and briefly knead to bring everything together.
- With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to about 2.5cm thick. Use a 5cm-diameter fluted pastry cutter dipped in flour to cut out 8-9 scones.
- Place the scones on a baking tray, about 1cm apart, and brush tops with the extra cream. Sprinkle with crushed black peppercorns and bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Serve with sour cream or room-temperature butter.

Aww, these scones look delicious. I am intrigued by the pairing of almonds and Gorgonzola, but I think it works nicely. I usually have Gorgonzola with walnuts though.
this is something new to me but I can say it's really appetizing
Angie, these gorgonzola scones would be so delicious with some homemade fig jam! They look so light and fluffy!
What a clever idea of adding Gorgonzola cheese in scones! It sounds wonderful to serve with the sour cream. Yummy!
I love gorgonzola, these are such treats! I would totally eat them all☺☺
So use to seeing sweet scones, love this savory blue cheese version. Fun to play up the nuts in there too.
I actually have some Gorgonzola on hand at the moment! So I can bake these -- wonderful looking recipe. Thanks!
Great post, very nice idea!

Ohhh I love pastries with cheese in it, especially strong flavored cheese like gorgonzola. The Almonds pair great with gorgonzola, sounds like a yummy cheese plate haha
Have a great week Angie :)

What a great combination of flavors. This would be great for my breakfast!
My impression of scones is that they are often rather dry -- the cheese in these appears to addresss that problem!

I love blue cheese and gorgonzola is among my favorites! These scones look divine! Perfect along side a fresh salad, too! :)
i surprised myself by liking gorgonzola and i know i'd LOVE it in these perfect scones!!
Angie, what a beautiful balance of flavors in these! Perfect with a glass of wine.
Oh, must be delicious :)
I love all of the varieties of blue cheese but have yet to try making scones with it! I love the sound of these with the crunch of almonds added. I could see a tray of these on a savory cheese board! Great recipe!
I am such a sucker for scones! I don't know what it is about them. These sound delicious!
I absolutely love savory scones, so these beauties are just screaming my name! The combination of gorgonzola and almond sounds just delicious!! I can't wait to try these! Cheers!
I love savory scones and don't often see them! Excited to try making my own!!
How did you know that I have a couple jars of fig jar left from last fall? :) Just added Gorgonzola to my grocery list so I can make these for Sunday brunch, if I can wait that long.
wow !! beautiful scones,looks so perfectly done dear..
I wasn't able to comment on this particular post last week due to trouble with the captcha. I just wanted to say that the scones look lovely & wholesome!
Happy weekend Angie :)
Mmm! I've never had a gorgonzola scone before!
lovely scones...combination of flavors make more delicious...yummy
have a great day
These scones looks so delicious. I am curious why you use spelt flour. Do you think I can substitute other kinds?
@Cathy @ She Paused 4 ThoughtI usually use spelt instead of modern wheat. And you definitely can use all purpose wheat flour or einkorn flour, another favourite of mine.
I haven't had homemade scones in years?! Tsk! 😅 Love the flavour combo in this hearty bakes!
What a great surprise to receive your comment!!;)....I'm so glad you are still around cooking and baking these delicacies...for sure I will come often!!....Thanks!!....Abrazotes, Marcela
These are beautiful Angie and I'm sure full of flavor. Nice recipe!
but they look delicious
I rarely think of scones as savory but I had a delicious (and filling) bacon and cheddar scone recently at a coffee house. Delicious! I must try these.
I love a savory scone - even better when cheese is involved! They look wonderful Angie!
Made these yesterday and they were delicious to the point of being addicting.
I would eat this whole plate!
Oh my goodness, Angie! Gorgonzola in a scone! Incredible! Pass the basket please!

Your savory scones sound wonderful, I've pinned them.
wow how cool it is!
Savory cheese scones complements so perfectly with sweet fig jam. I don't think I can stop at one, or two ...;p
I love gorgonzola cheese, Angie.<3 I agree, these would definitely be great with fig jam!
My husband lives scones and could devour these in a hurry!
You introduce me to so many new combinations, Angie...love this <3
These scones look perfect and I love that they are savoury. Soup and scones are perfect together.
Beautiful scones, Shuling. I made some scones with my air fryer today too.
Funnily enough, I was thinking about making cheese scones this weekend. I've never made mine with blue cheese, but now I've seen yours I'm thinking that's a jolly good idea.
