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.
