Baked Cheddar Cheese Olives
Gourmet Magazine
Yield: about 24

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. butter
½ cup flour
dash of cayenne
24 large pimento stuffed olives

Work together Cheddar cheese and butter. Add ½ cup flour and the cayenne and work the mixture until it is well blended. Drop from a teaspoon onto wax paper and wrap or mold each mound around a large pimento stuffed olive, covering the olive completely. Arrange the wrapped olives on a baking sheet and bake them in a hot oven, 400o, for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is baked through. Serve the olives hot as an hor d'oeuvre.
