Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 dozen pitted green olives
2 ounces blue cheese
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain, dried breadcrumbs
2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Soak olives in cold water for 15 minutes to reduce brininess. Drain, and pat dry. Stuff each with blue cheese.
  • Put flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 bowls. Dredge olives in flour, dip in egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs. Refrigerate until ready to fry.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, fry olives until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Serve warm.
