Quiche Lorraine Scones

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
• 1 dash Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 Tablespoons Cold Butter, Diced
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1/2 cups Half-and-half
• 1/4 pounds Swiss Or Gruyere Cheese, Diced
• 3 whole Green Onions, Sliced Thin
• 7 strips Center Cut Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Prepare the bacon, onion, and cheese. Set aside till bacon has cooled. After cooling, mix these ingredients together with 1 teaspoon flour in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the butter is pea-size. Lightly whip eggs and cream and add to the flour-and-butter mixture. Add the bacon, onion, and cheese mixture. Using a wooden spoon, fold mixture until it begins to come together.
4. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for less than one minute. Roll dough 3/4 to 1-inch thick and cut out using a 2 inch biscuit cutter or into triangles. Brush with egg wash (1 egg + 1 teaspoon water) and place on a parchment-lined sheet.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes (depending on the size of your scone) or until golden brown.
