This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tutturosso. The opinions and texts are all mine. For many of us, it’s associated with strong childhood memories or mom’s or dad’s cooking. It’s the food we grow up eating that eventually becomes our comfort food. But if I have to think of international cuisine, then my favorite type of comfort food always includes pasta. I can eat pasta any day any time! Now I am curious to know what’s your favorite type of comfort food? Do you prefer a hearty soup or something lighter? Or are you too a pasta/noodles fan? The choice was between Mushroom Pizza Rustico and Tomato Cheddar Scones. You can take a guess on what got the maximum votes! I also love that they have many varieties of canned tomatoes. You also get them in whole, peeled, diced, chopped, hand crushed, paste, and puree form. Knowing how the product is made makes me even more comfortable in recommending it to you. Every tomato is washed 7 times, rinsed 18 times, hand-sorted 11 times, mechanically sorted 6 times, and ran through 270 quality tests every hour to ensure only the best tomatoes are in every can of Tuttorosso. They are made with NON-GMO ingredients and Non-BPA lined cans which is a HUGE plus. They don’t use artificial preservatives, rather, they use steam to preserve them. It’s no wonder that they are the best-selling Italian-inspired canned tomato brand in the US. You can find them in all leading grocery stores. To help you find a store near you, click here. If you want to check out how else I useTuttorosso in my kitchen, then do check out these two recipes - Instant Pot Italian Chili and Instant Pot Minestrone Soup. I have had scones at coffee shops and bakeries but never made them at home. That’s why I was super excited to create this fluffy scones recipe for Tuttorosso. I was drawn towards this Tomato Cheddar Scones recipe because it was savory and it sounded delicious. If you know me, you know that I prefer savory food over sweets. Similar but better than a cheddar biscuit, these tender eggless savory scones have the perfect color, solid-crisp texture, with excellent bursts of flavor! They’re just too good! 3 tablespoons of Aquafaba is equal to 1 egg. Some other ways to make these scones eggless are to use flax egg, apple cider vinegar, or pumpkin puree. Tomatoes - For this savory scone recipe, I have used a can of Tuttorosso® Petite Diced Tomatoes. Spices - garlic powder and dry mustard are the two spices that you need for this fluffy scones recipe. Flour - Regular all-purpose flour is what I have used. This did not contain any baking powder. Other baking essentials - Heavy cream, butter, and baking powder along with salt and sugar. Cheese - Use the shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (finely shredded) variety here to get that sharp cheddar flavor.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. These eggless scones are perfectly paired with breakfast casseroles or breakfast gravy along with tea or coffee. There are many ways to enjoy these Tomato Cheddar Cheese Scones. They make for a delicious, savory side or a yummy snack. They are scrumptious by themselves as well! It’s nice to make a batch and have it on hand for quick on-the-go breakfasts. Bring them for Potlucks, Picnics, serve them at brunch, date nights, parties, or get-togethers. I would recommend Chickpea Stew, Chana Masala, Lasooni Palak, Chana Palak, Aloo Matar, Kovalam Matar, or Rajma Masala to be served with it. If in season, you can also serve it with Butternut Squash Chickpea Curry. In fact, I would also love to serve it with Pav Bhaji or Matki Misal if water rolls are not available. Chili is also a very popular choice to serve with these savory scones. You can pair it with Italian Chili, Black Eyed Peas Chili, or even Yellow Peas Chili. Even something like Aloo Bharta (Mashed Potatoes) or Mushroom Masala will go well with it. If you want to pair it with a soup, then try Minestrone Soup or Lentil Shorba. Sometimes you can also serve it with a bowl of sauteed mixed greens, or also some spicy chutney or Thecha Butter if you want to go Indian! I feel, even a delicious Teff Cutlet or Grilled Tofu would go well with it. In fact, you can also use them as mini buns for veggie burgers. Get creative! Shape them any way you want. You can either cut them in wedges, discs or use a scone cutter to shape these cheese scones.
