Baked Cheese Olives

Thanks to Jay and Marissa for this one which we had this past Thanksgiving.

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 T butter, softened
½ c flour
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
24 pimiento-stuffed green olives

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine cheese and butter. Stir flour and pepper into cheese and butter mixture. Blend well. Wrap a tablespoon of dough around each green olive. Arrange wrapped olives on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Oh, my goodness those are delicious! It's truly impossible to eat just a few if there are more available.
