Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff pastry sheets
- 20 pieces Green olives, pitted
- 4 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and unfold the puff pastry sheet. Roll it out gently to create an even surface.
Cut the cheddar cheese into 20 small cubes, roughly 1/2 inch each.
Place one cube of cheddar cheese inside each pitted olive.
Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, divide the puff pastry into 20 small squares, about 2 inches by 2 inches.
Place a cheese-stuffed olive in the center of each pastry square.
Wrap the edges of the puff pastry around the olive and pinch to seal, forming a small ball. Ensure the seam is secure to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush each puff gently with the egg wash and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
