Step 3: Shape the bites
Take about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture and flatten it slightly. Place an olive in the center, then wrap the cheese around it, rolling into a smooth ball. Ensure the olive is completely covered.
Step 4: Bake
Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 12–16 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Let them rest on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before moving them.
Tip: As they cool, the cheese firms up into a crisp outer shell. Handling them too early may cause them to fall apart, but once set, they hold their shape perfectly.
