Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Note: If cheddar isn't your cheese of choice, feel free to substitute with another hard cheese like Monterey Jack or Gouda. Similarly, if you're not a fan of chives, you can replace them with finely chopped green onions or even parsley for a different flavor profile.
