Four Ingredient Olive Cheese Bites

Four Ingredient Olive Cheese Bites are made with a buttery cheddar cheese dough wrapped around tangy green olives and baked for an easy and delicious appetizer. 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!
