• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

These tasty baked cheddar cheese and olive balls are delicious and the recipe is quick and easy! This recipe is courtesy of my mother-in-law, with a little tweak from me with the addition of grated parmesan cheese. I have no idea where she got it and she doesn't remember, but she has been making them far longer than I have known her (21 years). I recommend doubling the batch and freezing some of them for a quick reheat at another time (10 minutes at 350F).

Preparation and cooking time: approximately 35 minutes
Makes 35-40 cheddar olive balls

Ingredients:
1 stick softened butter
8 ounces of grated sharp cheddar cheese--room temperature
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 cup AP flour
1/4 tsp paprika
35-40 pimento-stuffed pitted green olives

Preparation method:
Mix all ingredients together except for the olives.

Pinch off a small amount of the mixture and flatten in the palm of your hand. Place an olive in the center and form into a small ball (a little larger than the size of a cherry tomato).
