- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Place the wrapped olives on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
