Olive Cheese Bites
Circle B Kitchen
After making these over the years, I've discovered that you can't use a sharp cheddar cheese; it's gotta be a mild or medium cheddar. Sharp cheddar is too dry. Mild or medium cheddars tend to be more creamy which you need to create a moist dough.
½ c flour
1 ¼ cup grated cheddar
1/8 t dry mustard (optional)
3 tsp milk
3 T melted butter
1/8 tsp salt
35-40 pitted green olives such as manzanilla
Mix all of the ingredients together (except the olives). Dry the olives as best you can and mold a rounded teaspoon of the dough around each olive. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 12-13 min. Serve warm
