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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened butter, smoked paprika, and salt.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive dough. You can use a wooden spoon or your hands for this step.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the prepared olive bites on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart.

Step 6

Repeat the process until all olives are coated with dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the bites are golden and slightly crisp on the outside.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
