Ingredients

2 cups (8 ounces) finely grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

About 36 large pimiento-stuffed olives or more smaller olives

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400°

In a food processor add the cheese, butter, flour, and cayenne. Whirl until dough is blended, but but not quite a ball yet.

Put the dough in a bowl and with a rubber spatula, work the dough into a ball

Meanwhile, have olives draining well and then pat dry on paper towels

Roll the dough out into a long "snake" and cut into even pieces that are about a teaspoon each

Roll the dough in the palm of your hand to form a small ball

Then flatten it into a disk between your palms, place an olive on the dough and shape the dough around the olive, completely sealing it

Place on an ungreased baking sheet

Continue with remaining dough and olives - this is a great time to get the kids in the kitchen

Bake until they smell delicious and the dough looks dry and golden, about 20 minutes

Serve warm or room temperature

I love these things - I want to try them with some garlic stuffed olives next time, too. No, you cannot eat just one of these little devils! Thanks for reminding me of this appetizer that I haven't made in ages - it's a keeper.
