Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter until fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Olives

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a marinated queen olive in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges. Repeat with remaining olives.

  3. 3

    Bake the Puffs

    Place the wrapped olives on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory olive cheese puffs warm!
