Cheese Bite Surprise image

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 olives of your choice (pimento-stuffed green olives are especially good)

Steps:

  • 1. Place the shredded cheese in a medium-sized bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to combine. 2. Sift the flour and cayenne pepper directly onto the cheese mixture. Use the back of a fork to blend well. 3. Dry the olives slightly by rolling them around on a paper towel. This will help the dough adhere better. Mold a scant tablespoon of dough around each olive, pressing together well. 4. Lightly coat a cookie sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the wrapped olives on the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 5. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve immediately. If you prefer, freeze the unbaked bites in a single layer and, when solidly frozen, transfer to a zip-lock plastic bag. Bake the frozen bites in a preheated 400°F oven for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
