Ingredients for the Goat Cheese Stuffed Olives:
Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 3 min

Ingredients for the Cabot Pimento Cheese:
Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 7 min
- 8 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons jarred diced pimentos or roasted red peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Procedure for the Olives:
- Pour 2 inches of olive oil into a medium skillet over medium heat. Line a tray with a cooling rack or a plate with paper towels.
- Using your fingers or a small measuring spoon, stuff the olives with goat cheese. You may have leftover cheese, depending on the size of the olives.
- Pour the bread crumbs onto a plate or tray. Dip the olives in the beaten egg then roll them around in the bread crumbs until they are evenly coated.
- Once the olive oil has reached 350°F, carefully lower the olives into the oil, working in batches as needed. Fry for 45 seconds or until the olives are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the olives to the cooling rack or paper towels.
Procedure for the Pimento Cheese:
- To a large bowl, add the shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Fold together until everything is fully combined with the cheddar.
- Stir in the diced pimentos and smoked paprika and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
