Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (thawed) puff pastry sheets
- 20 whole (pitted) green olives
- 100 grams (softened) cream cheese
- 50 grams (grated) sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 large (beaten, for egg wash) egg
- 2 tablespoons (for dusting) all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases.
In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Using a small spoon, fill the cavity of each whole pitted green olive with the cheese mixture.
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 20 equal squares, each approximately 2.5 inches (6 cm) wide.
Place a stuffed olive in the center of each puff pastry square. Bring the corners of the square together over the olive and pinch tightly to seal. Gently roll into a ball shape if desired.
Place the prepared olive puffs seam-side down on the lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each puff.
Brush the tops of the olive puffs with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
