Stefanie!!!!!!!!!! Love your comment, your story, those guys in class who wanted to eat all your scones!!!! Love, Love, Love the idea of the onions and thyme in a scone thanks so much for sharing. (And so happy you enJOYed the challah recipe) BIG HUGS!
This recipe sounds delicious. I love to use fresh herbs when cooking. Also, thyme goes great with carmelized onions. The name of the recipe caught my attention. Last year at school in my Vegetarian Cuisine class I used the same flavor profile but I put the onions and thyme in a scone. The day that I made them I was scheduled to make a bread and had the idea to fold carmelized onions into a scone. The chef always walked around the lab to see what everyone was doing. He seemed to get excited when he saw my recipe. Two of the guys in the class tried them before the rest of the class. We had to present our dish to the class and those same two guys told everyone not to eat them. They wanted them all to themselves! Needless to say, the class devoured them and another student wanted the recipe! I have the recipe somewhere but unfortunately, no picture. 🙁 You should definitely try making a scone with the carmelized onions and thyme. I think you would like it. On a side note, I finally got around to making your challah recipe last week. I have a picture of one of the loaves I made and tried submitting it but it doesn’t seem to have worked. Could I be doing something wrong?
