Blue (Bleu) Cheese Stuffed Olives image

Finally I can make my own - and so much better/fresher than store-bought! I prefer them without the almonds....more cheese! Prep time doesn't include 2-day fridge marination time. Courtesy of Emeril.

Time 21m

Yield 24 olives

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 slivered almonds
Emeril's Original Essence
1 (10 ounce) jar large pitted green olives (about 24 olives)
1/4 cup blue cheese
3 garlic cloves, smashed
10 whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the almonds in a small baking sheet and lightly season with Essence.
  • Roast until fragrant and light golden in color, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Drain the olives, reserving the brine.
  • Form 1/2 teaspoon of blue cheese around each almond sliver and stuff each into an olive.
  • Return the olives to their jar, layering with the garlic and peppercorns. Pour the reserved brine over the olives to completely cover. Tightly cover and shake well.
  • Let marinate refrigerated and sealed for at least 2 days.
