Ingredients

Caramelized Onions

1 tablespoon butter
1 medium sweet vidalia onion, very thinly sliced

Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, grated using the large holes on a box grater and frozen
1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon honey
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

Caramelized Onions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sliced onions and slowly cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until onions are a deep golden caramelized brown (about 20 minutes of cooking)
Allow caramelized onions to cool slightly then finely chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Scones

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter and work into flour with fingers until pea-sized clumps form. Stir in cooled caramelized onions, Asiago cheese, and bacon.
Drizzle milk, honey, and egg into flour mixture. Fold mixture until a shaggy dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and very gently knead several times until dough just comes together.
Form dough into a 1-in thick circle and cut into eight wedges. Place wedges 1-in apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake scones at 400F 18-20 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes then serve warm. Enjoy!
