Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 24 pieces stuffed green olives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened butter, and cayenne pepper. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Pat the olives dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Take about a teaspoon-sized amount of dough and flatten it into a small disk in your hand.
Place a stuffed green olive in the center of the dough disk and carefully wrap the dough around the olive, ensuring it is entirely sealed.
Repeat this process for all olives, placing the dough-wrapped olives onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
