Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Olives
Drain and rinse the green and black olives under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- 2
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.

Bread the Olives
Take each olive, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Olives
Carefully place the breaded olives in the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Transfer the fried olives to a serving plate. You can serve them warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or tzatziki.
