Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 20 pieces Green olives, pitted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened butter, smoked paprika, and salt.
Mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive dough. You can use a wooden spoon or your hands for this step.
Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly in your palm, and wrap it around a pitted green olive to completely encase the olive in the dough. Roll gently into a ball.
Place the prepared olive bites on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart.
Repeat the process until all olives are coated with dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the bites are golden and slightly crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
