How to Make Baked Cheddar Olives
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Drain Kalamata olives thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and shape it into a small ball. Gently press an olive into the center of the cheese ball, completely covering it with the dough.
- Place the wrapped olives onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the olives are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
