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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and unfold the puff pastry sheet. Roll it out gently to create an even surface.

Step 3

Cut the cheddar cheese into 20 small cubes, roughly 1/2 inch each.

Step 4

Place one cube of cheddar cheese inside each pitted olive.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, divide the puff pastry into 20 small squares, about 2 inches by 2 inches.

Step 6

Place a cheese-stuffed olive in the center of each pastry square.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush each puff gently with the egg wash and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
