Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375° F
In a large bowl, blend together cheese and butter with electric mixer. Add flour and paprika; mix well.
Shape 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture around each olive, dipping hands in flour, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until golden.
Remove from baking sheet and serve immediately.
