1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter
3 eggs, divided

8 slices OSCAR MAYER Center Cut Bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1 Tbsp. water

Total Time: 31 minutes
Makes: 16 servings, 1 scone each

PREHEAT oven to 425°F.

Mix flour and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 of the eggs and the cream; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in cheese, bacon and chives. Shape into ball.
