Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
3 eggs, divided
1/2 cup half-and-half
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
8 slices cooked OSCAR MAYER Center Cut Bacon, crumbled
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1 Tbsp. water

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F.
Combine flour and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk 2 eggs and half-and-half in medium bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in cheese, bacon and chives. Shape into ball.
Knead dough on lightly floured surface 10 times. Roll out to 12x6-inch rectangle. Cut into 8 (3-inch) squares; cut each square diagonally in half. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Whisk remaining egg and water until blended; brush over dough triangles.
Bake 14 to 16 min. or until scones are lightly browned. Serve warm.
