½ cup | Butter |
2 cups | Grated sharp cheese |
½ teaspoon | Salt |
1 teaspoon | Paprika |
1 dash | Cayenne or red pepper |
1 cup | Sifted flour |
50 smalls | Stuffed green olives. |
Allow butter to soften; blend with cheese, salt, paprika and cayenne.
Stir in flour, mixing well. Mold 1 tsp of this mixture around each olive, covering it completely. Arrange on a baking sheet and chill until firm. Bake in 400 oven for 15 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 50 puffs.
**NOTE** These puffs are so easy to serve at parties as they may be made in advance, frozen on a baking sheet to keep round and stored in a plastic bag in the freezer. Bake as needed.
