Stuffed cheese pastries with olives 

 

A very different recipe where cheese is used instead of dough to make a pastry coating the olives. Can be used as appetizers or canapé.


Ingredients

1/2 cup Butter , or margarine, melted
1 cup Cheddar Cheese,creamy and soft
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 cup Green Olives, stuffed with carrots

Directions

In a bowl, beat cheese and flour using an electric beater. Add melted butter and stir or beat until well blended.
Shape dough into small balls, the size of a ping-pong ball using your hands. Press an olive inside the center of each ball and shape dough again so that it becomes a solid ball covering olives. Repeat with the rest of dough.
Brush a baking sheet with butter or oil. Arrange stuffed balls on the baking sheet a little apart from each other. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Heat oven to 200 C. Remove cover and put baking sheet in the middle rack of oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastries become golden. Serve immediately.
