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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pat the olives dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Take about a teaspoon-sized amount of dough and flatten it into a small disk in your hand.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Repeat this process for all olives, placing the dough-wrapped olives onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
