A family favorite forever, we put piles of them made with small olives in the freezer raw to bake throughout the holidays, and serve them on a tray with those ruffled toothpicks.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon accent seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
12 ounces stuffed green olives
Directions:
1. Mix cheese and butter well.
2. Sift in next 5 ingredients and combine into a dough.
3. Take a small ball of dough and flatten with your hand to wrap around and cover an olive. You want to seal in the olive completely with a thin layer, but not too thin. Try a tablespoon or so to start, and see how it works with the size olives you use.
4. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes.
