1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup flour
cayenne pepper to taste
1 splash Worchestershire sauce (to taste)
Salt to taste
1 large jar of large-sized green olives stuffed with pimentos
Grate the cheese and let it come to room temperature. Add the flour and other seasonings, working into a dough with your hands.
Wrap the mixture around the olives and form into small balls.
Bake on a greased baking sheet for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
Serve hot. Experiment with different kinds of olives (garlic-stuffed, jalapeno-stuffed, etc.) and try with different dipping sauces such as marinara, salsa, ranch, etc.
Note: The dough can be crumbly if your hands are warm. Work quickly with the dough for best results. These also freeze beautifully so feel free to make them ahead of time and have them on hand to pop into the oven when guests arrive. No need to thaw them ahead of time, just place them into the oven from the freezer and allow a bit more baking time to cook through.
