Today, you’re going to learn all about my weird sleeping habits. I know this is the type of post you dream of reading. It’s cool – I love learning about people too.
Now, here is the thing about the way I sleep.
I hate sharing. I don’t want to share a blanket with my husband. I want my own blanket that no one can steal or pull off of me while I sleep.
So instead, I have my own method.
I have a huge king-size blanket (this blanket is the best!) that I wrap myself into (imagine a large burrito) so there is no opportunity for any cold air to enter my blanket.
Then I position myself into complete comfort and go to sleep.
Because I refuse to share, my husband pretty much does the same thing.
I’m telling you, the key to a happy marriage is separate blankets on the bed.
You’re always comfortable and never have to worry about anyone stealing your blankets. It’s a win-win.
Do you know what else is a win-win?
Scones.
Especially when those scones are savory.
Don’t get me wrong I love a sweet scone but they don’t keep me full for long.
This savory scone is packed full of Parmesan and lots of prosciutto.
It was like eating an awesome Italian sandwich in scone form.
Oh, and I didn’t stop there – NOPE! I then went and slathered those delicious scones in Challenge Butter.
Here is the thing about good butter, it actually makes a difference! Challenge butter is 100% real cream butter, it’s made from hormone-free milk and includes no additives. That means you get a fresh delicious butter flavor in every single bite.
Plus they control the process of making their butter starting at the farms and ending with the packaging. Quality ingredients are worth it!
Now, if you have never made scones before you should know they are super easy (seriously go make them right now. I’ll wait.) and full of delicious butter flavor.
And while I love mine with butter (obvs) it’s also great slathered in creme fraiche.
Craving scones but looking for something sweeter? Try these lemon blueberry scones! Or how about you go full on fall seasonal with these apple scones.
Another great thing about these Parmesan prosciutto scones is their flexibility.
If it’s hard for you to find prosciutto in your area simply substitute with any other thick-sliced ham.
Although personally I think prosciutto is the way to go.
Even if you have to search every store to find it, it’s definitely worth it.

I always make fun of my sister because she and her husband use separate blankets… Stevie and I are total opposites we practically sleep on top of each other (TMI?)… and sometimes have a random 4 year old at our feet or sprawled horizontally on top of us, no wonder I’m always cranky…. maybe I need my own blanket.
As for these scones, they look amazing. I don’t know why, but I never make savory scones… and obviously I need to.
Hahaha. I want to wrap myself in that butter. Happy wife, happy life, right? I love a homemade scone…and I love that these are savory!
Love that you made a savory scone. I often find American scones too sweet. This is absolutely perfect.
Put prosciutto in anything and I’m down. I can just imagine the salty amazingness in each buttery bite of these scones! Off to pin, what a great cause!
I agree that savory scones are the way to go for breakfast. Yours look fantastic! They would also go with roast beef for dinner, eh? I’m heading over to the Challenge Pinterest board to donate some meals. That’s a winning idea.
Separate blankets sounds like a terrific idea! I don’t have the stealing problem but the cold air getting in… hate it 😉 Your method sounds fool proof!
These savory scones look absolutely incredible! I rarely crave grain-based goodies but looking at these babies… I want three, please 🙂
You would totally make savory scones and knock it out of the ball park!!!
You know, I’m not usually a scone person… but these will totally change my mind I’m sure! They have all my favorite flavors 😀
All I want for Christmas is these scones!
It’s been ages since I’ve made savory scones and I’ve never thought to add prosciutto – that sounds amazing!
