HOT CHEESE OLIVES
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.

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.

OLIVE CHEESE PUFFS
When I was a kid growing up in Texas, my best friend's mom used to make these every Christmas. Thank you Schotzie! Wouldn't you know it - I married a guy who hates olives. These tasty little treats can be frozen in single layer. When frozen, store in plastic zipper bag. If frozen, bake at 400ºF for 18-20 minutes.

OLIVE PUFFS
These puff pastry-wrapped olives are our family's favorite holiday appetizer. We make them with a variety of olives - pimento stuffed green, plump kalamata, Provencal - just make sure they are pitted. We like to use strongly flavored olives; the flavor of canned ripe olives disappears in the puff pastry. You can make these ahead, and freeze; allow 30 minutes for the pastry to thaw before baking. Another advantage: the kids like to make them and eat them.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cheese puffs will be. Use fresh grated Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and high-quality olive oil.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cheese puffs tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cheese puffs hold their shape better in the oven.
- Bake the cheese puffs at a high temperature: This will help them puff up and get crispy.
- Serve the cheese puffs hot: Cheese puffs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Hot olive cheese puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Follow these tips to make the best cheese puffs you've ever had!
