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:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- Grate the Cheese: Using a grater, finely grate the cheddar cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
