Categories     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 queen olives stuffed with pimento
1/4 c. unsalted butter, at very soft room temperature (but not melty)
4 oz. Crystal Farms® Shredded Sharp Cheddar
1/2 c. + 1 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Steps:

  • Drain olives and place them on a paper towel to dry.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter and sharp cheddar with a wooden spoon. Add flour, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix as well as you can with the wooden spoon, and then finish by combining with your hands. It will turn into a moist, dense dough that can easily be formed into a ball.
  • With a small scoop, portion out 18 balls of tightly packed dough. My small scoop holds a little more than 2 teaspoons of dough when tightly packed. Roll each portion into a ball and place it in the palm of one hand. With the thumb of your other hand, press the dough ball to flatten it. Place an olive in the center of the flattened dough and mold the dough up around the olive. Give it a gently roll between your palms to finish. Place two inches apart on ungreased baking sheet - this 10" x 15" rimmed pan works perfectly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat oven to 400° F. Bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool on pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. These are best when eaten while still warm. Serve with homemade buttermilk ranch if you like to dip!
