Four Ingredient Olive Cheese Bites

I first made these little four-ingredient olive cheese bites about 20 years ago and I have been making them for holidays ever since. Easy and delicious – eat them hot or at room temperature.

Four Ingredient Olive Cheese Bites are the perfect holiday appetizer

A holiday appetizer doesn’t get any easier than this – just four ingredients in my Four Ingredient Olive Cheese Bites – heck, even the name is longer than four words (insert laugh).

1. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2. 60 small green olives stuffed with pimento
3. 1 1/4 cup flour
4. 1 stick of butter – melted

While they are easy, I should warn you that they do take some time to assemble. So if you’re making these on your own, make sure you have about 20-30 minutes to assemble them. If you can convince the kids, your friend, or anyone else to join you, the job goes a bit faster. So now that you know they are a bit time consuming, I should also tell you they are  HIGH ADDICTIVE. I am serious, if you are a green olive lover, you won’t stop at one, or two or even three – they are that delicious!

If you’re not convinced yet, close your eyes and think about a cheesy buttery dough wrapped around a tangy green olive – YUMMY!
