As served at Jill's 2018 Open House.
A while back, a customer recommended wrapping cheddar shortbread dough around olives. What a great idea!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a food processor combine the grated cheddar cheese, butter and flour. Pulse until a dough is formed.
Take a Tbsp of the dough and form into a ball. Flatten the ball into a circle and place an olive in the centre.
Pull the dough around the olive, wrapping it entirely. If needed, pinch the seam pressing with your fingers to enclose.
Place the wrapped olive on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives.
Bake the wrapped olives 13 minutes, or until just golden.
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.
