Ingredients:

1.50 cups pecans
150g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
12 olives
33g
1 tbsp chives
1g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pecans:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast them in the preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes, or until they become fragrant and slightly darker in color. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Allow the pecans to cool completely.
2. Chop the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the cooled pecans and set them aside.
- Finely chop the olives.
3. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese with the chopped olives.
- Add the finely chopped chives to the mixture.
- Season with a dash of black pepper.
- Stir everything together until well combined and smooth.
4. Form the Bites:
- Take about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands.
- Roll the cream cheese ball in the chopped pecans until it's fully coated.
5. Chill:
- Place the coated bites on a plate or tray.
- Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
6. Serve:
- Serve the cream cheese and olive pecan bites chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer or a party snack.

Tips:

- For a smoother consistency, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.

- Toast the pecans in the oven or on a skillet for extra flavor and crunch.

- Chop the olives finely to ensure they are evenly distributed within the bites.

- Adjust the amount of black pepper to your taste preference.

These cream cheese and olive pecan bites are simple yet exquisite, perfect for any gathering or as a tasty treat. With the combination of creamy, crunchy, and savory elements, they offer a delightful burst of flavors in every bite. Enjoy serving and savoring this delicious appetizer!
