Baked Cheese Olives

Here we go again with my love of jalapenos and cheese, but this one has the added wonderful flavor of green olives. :) Make a double batch and freeze to bake at a later time for a quick snack.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 24 Stuffed green olives of any sort (I love jalapeno stuffed ones.)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small mixing bowl, combine cheese and butter. Stir in flour. Blend well. Wrap a tablespoon of dough around each green olive. Arrange the wrapped olives on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cheese Straws

Delicious and easy for entertaining or to snack on.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 sticks margarine (melted)
  • 1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese (any kind but I use Kraft)
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups shifted flour

Directions:

Let cheese sit out for 1-2 days, so it is easy to work with. Place cheese in blender. Add melted margarine. Slowly add flour to mix. Add salt and cayenne pepper.

Place mix in a tube that squeezes out, or make your own with a sandwich bag by cutting out the tip.

Squeeze on to pan. Place cheese straws into refrigerator for 15-20 min to firm them up. Place into pre-heated oven 375 degrees F. Bake 12-13 minutes.

Servings: 2-3 days
Time:2 days Preparation Time
13 minutes Cooking Time

Cheese Flavored Straws

As a child, I enjoyed these little cheese rolls from a grocery store bakery/deli counter, but have not seen them for about 20 years. They were small straw-like rolls, about 6 inches long and less than a half inch in diameter. The outside was a thin cheese-flavored wafer-like coating that could be unpeeled in layers. The inside was a soft cheddar cheese filling.

They were much like the chocolate flavored straws with a French-sounding name that begins with "P" but which I can't recall the name. Does anyone know the name of these, or a source from which to buy them?

RE: Cheese Flavored Straws

I am not sure about the chocolate ones or the name .. but I know that the restaurant called "La Madeleines" carries cheese straws and they are delicious! Especially with their tomato basil soup. (09/29/2008)
