Directions
Cheese-Wrapped Olives (Bollitas),These savory little appetizers are geared to please the olive-lover in the crowd. Can be frozen before baking. If doing so, place directly into oven from freezer and extend the baking time by just a few minutes. Recipe from a clipping, author unsourced.,Tasty morsels! I added 1/4 teaspoon salt to dough and a pinch of chili flakes. I froze mine prior to baking and they turned out just like in the picture.,These were a little fussy to make and mine looked nothing like the picture, but they sure tasted good and the fam loved them!! Thanks!!

Note: Upon Making These Recently, I Discovered That the Preferred Method Should Be to Freeze These on a Baking Tray For About 3-4 Hours Before Baking. This Allows the Texture of the 'dough' to Remain Firm Around the Balls When Baking. of Course If You Don't Have the Time, They Are Still Just as Tasty the First Way... the Balls Just Don't Hold Up Quite as Well in the Oven. |
