BAKED CHEDDAR OLIVES

Steps:

• 3. If your dough seems to crumble add a Tablespoon or two of milk or water to get it to wrap around the olive better.
• 4. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto wax paper and wrap or mold each piece of dough around an olive, covering completely.
• 5. Bake the wrapped olives on a baking sheet in the center rack of a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 mintues or until golden brown. Serve warm.
