As a busy mom, I'm always looking for easy and delicious appetizers to serve at gatherings. These Olive Cheese Balls are a hit with everyone and always disappear quickly. They're so simple to make, and you can even get the kids involved in the process.
The key to these cheese balls is to make sure they're chilled before baking. This helps the cheese dough set and prevents the olives from falling out. Once chilled, they bake up into crispy and golden brown bites that are perfect for any occasion.
Step-by-step
- Drain and pat dry olives.
- Combine cheese, flour, and melted butter.
- Flatten dough, wrap around an olive, roll into ball.
- Refrigerate balls for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Bake balls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
