There are many things that one can serve for morning or afternoon tea. Here are some toppings for the good old fashioned scone. Jazz them up or pare them down...according to your taste!
We all know the popular scones with strawberries and cream. There are other variations in sweet or savoury that one can experiment with too.
Take some avocado pear and mash with some herbs and a little squeeze of lemon juice. Place the mixture on the halved scone and top with some cream cheese. Cold meat with cottage cheese and a little sweet chilli sauce can be great for a brunch.
Green fig preserve is a delicious topping with a small dollop of cream underneath the fruit. Bacon is always enjoyed and can be paired up with a piece of banana and cream cheese on the base.
Grated cheese and chutney with a sprinkle of peri-peri is also a good combination. Many jellies or jam , as they call it in South Africa, can be a good standby. Honey and cream is also delicious for breakfast or tea.
Scrambled egg and cheese can also do the trick!
Do you have your own idea to add to this list?
