Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 3

Mix the cheese, butter, flour, and paprika together using an electric mixer or food processor. Take tablespoon-size pieces of the dough and one olive per tablespoon of dough. Roll the dough around the olive, so that the olive in completely enclosed in the center of the dough. Arrange the olive and cheese balls on the prepared baking sheet.
