Here’s a simple and delicious Cream Cheese Wrapped Olive recipe that’s perfect for a snack or party appetizer!
Cream Cheese Wrapped Olive
Ingredients:
- 1 jar green or black olives (pitted)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as parsley, oregano, or dill) (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the olives: Drain the olives and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure there is no excess moisture on them.
-
Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with garlic powder and dried herbs (if using). You can also add a pinch of salt or pepper to taste.
-
Wrap the olives: Using a small spoon or your hands, take a small amount of the cream cheese mixture and gently wrap it around each olive. If the cream cheese mixture is too soft to hold its shape, you can chill it for a few minutes before wrapping.
-
Optional garnish: Sprinkle the wrapped olives with paprika for a pop of color or fresh herbs for added flavor.
-
Serve: Arrange the cream cheese-wrapped olives on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve. They’re perfect as a party snack or appetizer!
