The following recipe and photography for this post were provided by local blogger Abby Thome of The Thome Home.
Fluffy, flaky, Fondue Cheese & Chive Scones are the perfect savory homemade treat to take your Heinen’s Tomato Basil Bisque to an entirely new level. Once you’ve tackled this scone recipe, you hold the power to switch up the flavor profile. Just think, swap the fondue cheese for pepper jack and swap chives for pickled jalapeños and you have a scone that’s a perfect match for chili.
The new Heinen’s Fondue Cheese blend is so incredibly decadent. It melts perfectly into the scones nooks and crannies and creates a cheesy depth that lasts through every bite! I used cookie cutters to shape my scones into hearts because I think these would be the perfect bite to show your kiddos or spouse some love this Valentine’s Day!
Take a walk on the wild side and ditch the grilled cheese! Make these adorable heart-shaped Fondue Cheese and Chive Scones for any soup you are enjoying!
