This easy recipe for Greek yogurt scones made with cheddar and rosemary ALWAYS hit the spot. These savory Greek yogurt scones are light and fluffy, and have a ton of flavor from sharp cheddar cheese and rosemary. I’ve always loved the flavor combo of a sharp cheddar and rosemary. It’s delicious and goes well with vegetable soups of all sorts!
The Greek yogurt keeps the scones moist and also packs in a little extra protein. Have you ever tried scones made with yogurt?
What I love about scones made with yogurt is that by choosing a Greek nonfat option, you can really lose a ton of fat and calories, add in extra protein, and have wonderfully flaky and fluffy scones that definitely don’t taste like “diet food”.
This recipe will make 6 cheddar rosemary scones, and you can easily double it if you’d like to make a larger batch.
Ingredients for Cheddar Rosemary Scones
This Greek yogurt scones recipe uses just a few ingredients, all of which I always have on hand.
- All purpose flour
- Greek yogurt
- Salt
- Dried rosemary
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Baking powder
That’s it! If you don’t have Greek yogurt on hand, you can substitute regular yogurt, but will need to use a bit less yogurt or a bit more flour as regular yogurt has a lot more liquid that a strained Greek-style yogurt.
How to make Cheddar Rosemary Scones with yogurt
These Greek yogurt scones come together super quick! First, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, mix together all-purpose flour with salt, baking powder and dried rosemary.
Add in the shredded cheese and give it a good stir.
Add in your Greek yogurt and mix with a spoon until a soft dough forms. Some brands of Greek yogurt are “more wet” than others, so if you find that your dough feels a bit too dry, add in 1 tsp of water if needed.
Once you have a soft dough for your Greek yogurt scones, sprinkle a bit of flour on your lined baking sheet, and using your hands lightly knead the dough a few times.
Next, shape the dough into a rectangular shape.
Using a knife, carefully slice the dough into 6 equal pieces.
Separate the scones and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
I love how easy these cheddar rosemary scones are to whip up. And they are DELICIOUS as is, or slathered with a bit of butter….yum.

These turned out well. Good alternative to using heavy cream. I didn’t have any cheese, so I made cinnamon raisin scones with orange zest and juice instead of water. Yummy!
I can’t figure out where 7 g of protein came from. Added whey protein powder to mine to up it.
