Ingredients

  • 24 - pimento stuffed olives

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

How To Make baked cheddar olives

  • Step 1
    Drain olives and pat dry with towel.
  • Step 2
    Combine cheese and butter in a bowl. Add flour and cayenne and blend until well mixed. I do finely shred my cheddar cheese from a block of cheese. I don't use the pre-shredded cheese.
  • Step 3
    If your dough seems to crumble add a Tablespoon or two of milk or water to get it to wrap around the olive better.
  • Step 4
    Drop the dough by tablespoons onto wax paper and wrap or mold each piece of dough around an olive, covering completely.
  • Step 5
    Bake the wrapped olives on a baking sheet in the center rack of a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 mintues or until golden brown. Serve warm.
