Olive Cheese Ball Recipes

Steps:

• Lay the olives on a paper towel-lined plate and gently pat them dry.
• Slice a small piece of cream cheese about 1/4 inch thick and place 1 olive in the center of the slice. Wrap the cream cheese around the olive and roll it between your hands so it is completely covered and forms a smooth ball. Repeat until all of the olives are covered in cream cheese.
• Mix the walnuts and parsley in a bowl or shallow dish. Roll each ball in the mixture to completely coat. Refrigerate the coated olives, uncovered, until chilled, at least 1 hour. These can be made a day in advance.
• Slice in half before serving.

Steps:

• Stir together cheese and flour in large bowl. Stir in butter thoroughly. (If dough seems dry, work with hands.)
• Mold 1 teaspoon dough around each olive; shape into ball. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine cheese, butter, flour and cayenne with a fork until a dough-like form forms.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Wrap each olive with a piece of the cheesy dough, covering the olive completely. Place olive balls on a cookie sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread frozen olive balls on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Eat with caution as olives will still be hot.

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 deg. Combine all ingredients except olives. Pinch off a small amount of dough and form into a 1-inch ball. Press an olive into the center of the dough ball. Wrap mixture around olive. Be sure the olive is completely covered. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 - 12 minutes. These freeze well unbaked.
