Air Fryer Ham and Cheddar Scones

Have any extra ham lying around after Easter? Make these ham and cheddar scones in your air fryer or oven for breakfast the next day and serve them with some fresh fruit on the side and scrambled eggs.

This weekend for Easter, my brother bought an 18 pound ham and I told him he was crazy. His only reasoning behind it all was that he wanted people to go home with plenty of leftovers and its the only time of the year he ever gets to make a ham this size. Don't blame him. If you live in the Minneapolis/St Paul area there is a butcher shop called Everette's that makes some of these best bacon and when you walk around the store you just get a great big woof of the smoke. It smells so good.

Why You'll Love this Recipe

These scones are made with the easit dough recipe ever. It's just equal parts greek yogurt and self-rising flour.

They are a great way to use up any leftover ham that is leftover in the fridge.

Ingredients Needed

• 1 cup of non fat greek yogurt
• 1 cup of self rising flour
• 4 oz of diced cooked ham
• ½ cup of cheddar
• ½ teaspoon of onion salt
• 1 egg (for the egg wash)
• Everything but the Bagel seasoning (optional) or use my Everything but the Bagel Seasoning recipe

How to Make Air Fryer Scones

1. In a bowl combine the yogurt, flour, diced ham, cheddar, and onion salt until well combined. I used Trader Joe's Onion Salt seasoning.
2. Place the dough onto a floured surface and roll out the dough into a round disk so that its about an inch thick.
3. Brush the dough with egg wash and cut into 8 equal triangles. Sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (optional).
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Flip half way to brown evenly on both sides.
5. Air Fryer Instructions: Place the scones in a single layer on your air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 350 degrees and the timer to 15 minutes.

Air Fryer Tips

Preheating: Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual. Mine does not require preheating. If the food ever burns or doesn’t cook properly this could be why the recipe didn’t work for you. 

Cooking Times: Please note that all air fryers do not cook the same. Might have to adjust cooking time accordingly.  Thank you. 

Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Some food will not cook properly or all the way through. 

Storage Tips 

Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The  type  of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or refrigerator.
