As I sat shivering inside my cold apartment wondering what ever happened to global warming, I tried to think of a tasty excuse to warm up the kitchen with an oven-baked treat. I finally settled on these baked olive cheese balls. Imagine a plump green olive nestled in a slightly spicy and crispy cheese pastry. For a maximum burst of flavor, I suggest you use an extra old Cheddar cheese. I'm quite certain you could substitute small sautéed button mushrooms for the olives. Better yet, double this recipe and make both.

wow these look so perfect and so full of cheese - they would be fantastic finger food at a party - although I imagine it is a bit of work to wrap them
What a lovely meze these would make. I must try these out.
Oh my goodness, do these ever look fantastic! I think they'd be the perfect thing to serve at a dinner party (or just a dinner, come to think of it!).
I would love to try these little bites of flavour...perfect for cocktails...sounds very fancy smancy doesn't it "D
2 of my favorites brought together... Sounds like a marriage made in heaven! :)

This looks so FREAKING GOOD! I love olives and cheese and pastry - so what movie do you want me to bring over? ;)
I enjoyed the picture.
Have you tried making them with a cheese substitute?
Thanks.

No, I have never tried them with cheese substitute, so I'm not sure if they would work out the same.
I made these this weekend for movie night - they rocked!!!
Holy guacamole, I'm making them tomarrow, I'm gona try it with some spicy olives...great app :)
These look fantastic!
This is superb. I replaced egg with corn flour and water.
6 and a half years since my comment here for these lovely little treats and I am making these again today (have made them many times inbetween these years). The weather is cold here in the UK today and I feel like making my family little treats for when they get home from work. These are great but the only problem is, that I can never make enough of them, they get gobbled up so fast :-) thanks lisa, love all your recipes but this has got to be one of my favourites and most reproduced on of all x niki
I am delighted you enjoy them so much. Thanks for taking the time to leave another comment and thank you for your continued readership. xo
