We were saddened to hear that Proof Bakeshop closed up earlier this year. We have long been fans of their Gruyere scones with the salt on top and the green onions. They were so delicious — our favorite savory scones! Sad that we won’t be able to drop by Freedom Farmers Market and pick some up. Do you think the chef might be willing to share the recipe? Thank you so much for this column! — Keri Lubell, Decatur
Just before Proof Bakeshop closed, owner Billy Allin provided the recipe for these savory scones. It’s actually a base recipe for savory scones that can be varied to use any cheese you like. Vary the soft herb as well, if you wish, considering the aggressiveness of the flavor of the herb as you adjust the quantity to include.
We’ve scaled this recipe down to one-sixth the size that the bakery would produce.
From the menu of ... Proof Bakeshop, 100 Hurt St., Atlanta. CLOSED
