Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Beat the butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne and the Worcestershire until smooth. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. Place it on an un-greased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives.
Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
