Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sharp
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • dash of cayenne pepper (optional, but really adds to the flavor!)
  • 1 (8.5 oz) jar of pimento-stuffed green olives
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp cream
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Combine cheese and butter in food processor, blend well. Add flour, paprika, and cayenne, and process until smooth.
  2. Drain olives well. Wrap about 1 tsp of the dough around each olive, pinching edges to seal. Form into balls, and place on foil lined baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, beat egg and cream well, and brush over the top of the bites. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  4. **If you'd like to make these appetizers ahead of time, cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap, place in freezer until bites are frozen, then place them in a freezer bag in freezer for up to several hours. Thaw in refrigerator before baking.
  5. To bake and serve immediately, place baking sheet in prepared oven, and bake for about 15 minutues, to until just golden brown. May be served hot, warm, or at room temp.
  6. Makes about 48 bites
