Tips:

For the best results, use large, firm olives. If the olives are too small, they will be difficult to work with and may not hold their shape.
To easily remove the olive pits, use an olive pitter. If you don't have an olive pitter, you can use a paring knife to carefully cut around the pit.
To make the olives more flavorful, soak them in a brine solution for at least 1 hour before stuffing them. The brine solution will help to tenderize the olives and add flavor.
To prevent the olives from drying out, brush them with olive oil before baking them.
If you are using a toothpick to hold the olives together, be sure to remove the toothpick before serving.

Tuxedo olives are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover olives. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and elegant appetizer that will impress your guests.
