Mushroom Herb Scones

Mushroom Herb Scones

Serves 2 to 4

• 4 large plain scones or soda farls
• 2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (a variety is best)
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1 cup shredded cheese (mature cheddar works well, or emmenthal)
• 1 heaped teaspoon finely chopped garlic
• 2 teaspoons thyme

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the scones in half and scoop out a little of the inside.

2. Mix the mushrooms, cream, cheese, garlic and thyme; it should become a thick paste; you can use a food processor if you prefer no mushroom and cheese lumps.

3. Add the mixture into the middle of the scones, then add the top half of the scone back on.

4. Wrap scones in aluminium foil and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Serve warm! Serves 4 as a snack (great with an assortment of cheese and/ or some cold meats!), or two as a light dinner.
