Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Large green olives (pitted)
- 120 grams Cream cheese or goat cheese
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 20 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. Begin by thoroughly rinsing and drying the pitted green olives to remove excess brine.
2. Using a small piping bag or spoon, carefully stuff each olive with cream cheese or goat cheese until full. Set them aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the breading station: place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk in a second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
4. Roll each stuffed olive in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess.
5. Dip the floured olive into the egg mixture, coating it evenly.
6. Roll the olive in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the breaded olive on a tray. Repeat with all olives.
7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 175°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
8. Fry the breaded olives in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried olives from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Serve the fried stuffed olives warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
