Cheesy Olive Bites

Cheesy Olive Bites

I spent a few years of my childhood living in Israel. Green olives are a staple there and I have memories of eating soft crusty bread slathered in butter and topped with sliced green olives.  These Cheesy Olive Bites are reminiscent of that. I generally like to cook healthy but once in a while even the best of us crave some cheesy goodness. This definitely satisfies that craving. I chose ingredients that keep well so that you can whip up a batch last minute. These take about 25 minutes to make including baking time since they are so small. I guarantee that they will fly off the plate faster than you can make them.

The simple list of ingredients

Chop the olives

Divide dough in half

Roll out with a rolling pin

Add olive mixture

Roll up the dough

Slice

Add to greased mini muffin tin

All done!
