Roasted Tomato & Feta Scones

I don't often post things I haven't tried, but Evan LOVES roasted tomatoes, so we will be trying this one soon.

If you've never roasted tomatoes before, here's how: I prefer to use grape tomatoes or romas.  Preheat oven to 400. Cut tomatoes into quarters and gut the insides (however, I roast grape tomatoes whole). Arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast (bake on your higher oven rack) for 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
4 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 egg, slightly beaten
4 oz. package of feta cheese
1/2 cup roasted red tomatoes, chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse in 3-second intervals until the ingredients resemble a coarse meal.
2. Transfer everything to a large bowl. Stir in the heavy cream and egg and mix together by hand until combined. Add the feta cheese, roasted tomatoes, and onions and mix by hand until evenly combined.
3. On a floured surface, form dough into a large ball. Flatten dough into a 1-inch-tall disc and cut into 8 equal pieces (like a pie).
4. Bake for 15 minutes on a baking stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
