A delightful appetizer featuring olives wrapped in a cheesy, spiced dough, perfect for any gathering.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a food processor, combine the cheddar cheese, butter, paprika, cayenne pepper, and flour. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Take a small portion of dough, about the size of a tablespoon, and flatten it in your palm.
Use slightly damp hands to prevent sticking.
Place an olive in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around it, rolling it between your palms to form a smooth ball.
Ensure the olive is completely covered to prevent leakage during baking.
Place the wrapped olives on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Leave a small gap between each ball to allow for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
