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.
