Categories     Olive     Bake     Super Bowl     Cheddar     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 24 Cheddar olives

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
a 3-ounce jar small pimiento-stuffed green olives (about 24), drained and patted dry

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the Cheddar and the butter, add the flour and the cayenne, and blend the dough until it is combined well. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto wax paper and wrap or mold each tablespoon around each of the olives, covering each olive completely. Bake the wrapped olives on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, and serve them warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful olives and cheese will make a big difference in the taste of your nuggets.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the nuggets tough.
  • Chill the dough before frying. This will help the nuggets hold their shape.
  • Fry the nuggets in hot oil. This will create a crispy outer coating.
  • Serve the nuggets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Olive cheese nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these tasty treats that everyone will love.
