Bacon-Swiss Scones

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the bacon until crispy. After cooling, crumble it into small pieces. Toss the bacon crumbles together with the cheese.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until well-combined.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and half-and-half together.

Pour both the egg mixture and the bacon mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently until the dough comes together.

Turn out the dough on to a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes. Roll the dough into a circle about 1″ in thickness, and cut into 8 wedges. Pull each wedge out slightly so that they have room to bake. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
