Black olive and cheddar bites

Black olive and cheddar bites are an easy and delicious snack that's perfect for parties, gatherings, or a quick appetizer. Combining the briny flavor of black olives with the richness of cheddar cheese creates a delightful taste that's sure to please any palate.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup olives
70g
1 oz cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Olives:
- Drain and Chop: If your black olives are canned, drain them thoroughly. Rinse if they are salty and then pat them dry. Coarsely chop the olives and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Cheddar Cheese:
- Grate the Cheese: Using a grater, finely grate the cheddar cheese.
4. Mix Ingredients:
- Combine: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped olives and grated cheddar cheese. Mix them well so that the cheese is evenly distributed among the olives.
5. Form Bites:
- Shape the Mixture: With clean hands, take small portions of the olive and cheese mixture and form them into bite-sized balls. Press them slightly to ensure they hold together.
6. Baking:
- Place on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the olive and cheddar bites on the sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bites are golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
7. Serving:
- Cool Slightly: Remove the bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.
- Serve Warm: These bites are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.
8. Optional Additions (For Extra Flavor):
- Spices and Herbs: You can mix in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or a pinch of dried spices such as oregano or garlic powder into the olive and cheese mixture for added flavor.
- Breadcrumb Coating: Roll the bites in breadcrumbs before baking for an extra crunchy texture.

Tips:

- Use high-quality black olives for the best flavor.

- Sharp cheddar works best for a more robust taste, but you can experiment with different types of cheddar.

- Ensure the olives are well-drained to avoid making the bites too watery.

- Chill the mixture in the fridge before shaping them into bites for better handling.

- If desired, add a touch of seasoning such as garlic powder or fresh herbs to enhance the flavor.

Black olive and cheddar bites are a quick and tasty option for any occasion. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, they showcase the savory goodness of olives and cheese. Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a personal treat, these bites are sure to be a hit!
