HOT CHEESE OLIVES



Hot Cheese Olives image

This is classic 1950s cocktail fare that, unlike the savory gelées and boiled ham canapés that are best forgotten, we still want to eat today. Just wrap cocktail olives in a simple Cheddar dough and bake until golden. Martini optional.

Time 1h15m

Yield 50 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces (2 cups) grated extra-sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
50 small pimento-stuffed cocktail olives, drained and patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne and the Worcestershire and mix until smooth. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. Place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

TASTY HAM-OLIVE SPREAD



Tasty Ham-Olive Spread image

Makes a wonderful addition to an appetizer table. Olives add the zip to the ham spread. Add some diced cheddar cheese for a different taste. For sandwiches, I use toasted whole wheat or pumpernickel.
