Preheat the oven to 190 Degrees C.<br>2. Place the butter, flour, salt and baking powder in a robot coupe. Blitz very briefly to form breadcrumbs. Place in a mixing; bowl, add the Philadelphia, cheddar and chives.<br>3. Add the milk a bit at a time. Using a fork, bring the dough together, being sure to not overwork the dough.<br>4. Rollout into a 12&#8243;x 12&#8243; square, roughly 2inches thick.<br>5. Cut into squares (You&#8217;ll get 8 out of a batch).<br>6. Place scones on a lined baking tray, brush the tops with egg wash, and a smear of Philadelphia and a good grinding of black pepper. Bake for around 12 &#8211; 15min at 190.C and leave to cool completely.<br>7. For the salsa verde cream cheese, place all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until fully combined. A bit of texture is a good thing so it doesn&#8217;t need to be smooth.<br>8. Cut the scone in half through the middle and spread the salsa verde cream cheese on the bottom. An optional final step would be to then top with rocket\/watercress, adding grilled chorizo and spreading a chilli jam or onion chutney on the top half of the scone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover more Mondel\u0113z recipes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondelez-afh.co.uk\/ideas-kitchen?utm_source=chefs_insider&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=ci&amp;utm_content=ao_june_philadelphia\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.mondelez-afh.co.uk\/ideas-kitchen?utm_source=chefs_insider&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=ci&amp;utm_content=ao_june_philadelphia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serves: 8 Time: 30 minutes Ingredients:&nbsp;
