Olive Fritti Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Stuff each green olive with a small piece of gorgonzola cheese.

2. 2

   Set Up the Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Bread the Olives

   Take each stuffed olive, coat it in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs to fully coat.

4. 4

   Fry the Olives

   In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded olives in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the olive fritti warm, optionally with a side of marinara sauce or aioli for dipping.
