As served at Jill's 2018 Open House.

A while back, a customer recommended wrapping cheddar shortbread dough around olives. What a great idea!



Yields30 Servings
Prep Time15 minsCook Time13 minsTotal Time28 mins

 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
 ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature, cubed
 1 cup all purpose flour

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2

In a food processor combine the grated cheddar cheese, butter and flour. Pulse until a dough is formed.

3

Take a Tbsp of the dough and form into a ball. Flatten the ball into a circle and place an olive in the centre.

4

Pull the dough around the olive, wrapping it entirely. If needed, pinch the seam pressing with your fingers to enclose.

5

Place the wrapped olive on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives.

6

Bake the wrapped olives 13 minutes, or until just golden.

7

If you would like to eat these later, freeze on baking sheet before baking, put into a resealable container and bake at a later time as noted above on a prepared baking tray.
