I made this as a spur of the moment appetizer for some guests, and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and I was surprised at how quickly it came together. It's ready in less than 5 minutes!

Oh my gosh, that looks so good! Mmmm...olives! I will definitely try this one.
ReplyDeleteThis also makes a great savory pastry filling...
ReplyDeleteI made this for some friends. Halfway through I realized I didn't have enough green olives, so I opened a can of black olives and added them, tasted great!
