How to Make Baked Green Olives In Spicy Cheese Pastry
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a log, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Take approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and gently mold it around each green olive (about 20-25 large olives).
- Place the olive-wrapped pastries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or even cold!
