Baked Green Olive Cheese Puffs

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Snack
Keyword: Cheese Puffs

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 1/2 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 small jar of green olives (you’ll need about 25 – 30)

Instructions

  • Combine cheese and butter or margarine until smooth. (I find it’s easiest to do this with my hands, although if you have a food processor, that would probably work just as well without being messy.) Work in flour and spices.
  • Using a teaspoon dough, flatten and wrap completely around one olive. (Again, I just do this in my hand.) Repeat until done. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, until golden.
