I was not wowed by these. Perhaps its because I used regular bottled pimento stuffed olives. Reduced the recipe by 1/4th and it made 17 balls. Erred in my dividing and had to add more butter, which I melted. Used a pastry cutter to combine and cut grated cheddar into flour mixture. Baked at 400 in a toaster oven for 15mins, slightly browned and crispy. I might try these again with a better quality olive.

Yours is the third recipe for covered stuffed olives that I have tried and it is perfect! I cut the recipe back to 1/4 of the original posted using 1/2 cup cheddar cheese,1/8 cup butter, 1/4 cup flour. 1/4 tsp hot paprika and 8 jumbo garlic stuffed olives. I dried them well so the dough would adhere. Used my mini food chopper to mix the dough. They were in the freezer for 2 hours. Because they were large they took 22 minutes in the oven. They turned crispy on the outside when they had cooled for 10 minutes. This is a "head of the list" to do again Thanks Stewie for a super appetizer

I found, these were better if they cooled a bit, made the coating a bit crunchier. They were pretty easy to make. I used up some other grated cheeses (Taco blend and Swiss) I had, and they were great!! They were well accepted!!
