Ingredients

• 40 pieces Large green olives (pitted)
• 120 grams Cream cheese or goat cheese
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 20 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by thoroughly rinsing and drying the pitted green olives to remove excess brine.

Step 2

2. Using a small piping bag or spoon, carefully stuff each olive with cream cheese or goat cheese until full. Set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

3. Prepare the breading station: place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk in a second bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.

Step 4

4. Roll each stuffed olive in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess.

Step 5

5. Dip the floured olive into the egg mixture, coating it evenly.

Step 6

6. Roll the olive in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the breaded olive on a tray. Repeat with all olives.

Step 7

7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 175°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

Step 8

8. Fry the breaded olives in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

9. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried olives from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

10. Serve the fried stuffed olives warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
