Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • Pimento stuffed green olives, drained and blotted dry

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, cream together the cheese and butter. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, Essence, salt, and cayenne. Fold into the cheese mixture and blend until combined.
