Olive Puffs

I used crescent rolls and cut the triangles into 3 separate pieces. I tried the phyllo dough but thought it was too difficult to use! I pressed shredded cheddar cheese into the dough. Sprinkled with garlic salt and/or paprika. I tried the pimento stuffed large green olives and I also tried almond stuffed and Jalapeño stuffed olives too. Very easy and my husband really liked them. He didn't think he would. Thanks!

These are awesome appetizers....and I don't even like green olives. When I had them at a party...the hostess had added cheddar cheese to the recipe. She finely shredded the cheese and sprinkled over dough and lightly pressed it in b4 rolling around olive. It made these little numbers even more delish!!!

I used the samller green olives with pimento and also larger garlic stuffed ones and the smaller ones worked best. I would probable cut the big ones in half next time. More pastry around the olive is not better! These were easy,fun to make and tasty. Great with cocktails.

These look like pinwheels. Wrap the pastry strips around the green sides of the olives so that the pimiento is visible. This way, you have a nice red & green hors d'oeuvre for Christmas. These are different, with appropriate colors for Christmas. Tasty and interesting.

Everyone loved these, and they were so easy. For the second batch, I sprinkled garlic salt on the pastry- which added a nice touch. GREAT recipe!

Delicious and easy. Taste even better when you press cheddar cheese in the dough before adding the olive.

These were fun! I made this for my annual Halloween-themed dinner last night and they turned out well. I pressed a little grated cheddar cheese into the pastry as well, and that made them even better, and kinda looked like creepy crusty skin on the eyeballs :) The only bad thing was that the pastry stuck a little to my work surface, so as I tried to roll the olives the pastry stretch out a bit, and it ended up being more pastry around the olives than I wanted. Still turned out great though, and my husband really enjoyed them!

I give this 5 stars for being perfect in itself and the perfect jumping off place for experimenting...next time I will at a little grated cheese pressed into the pastry, or a dab of pesto, or an anchovy rolled up....soooo good!

WOW so delicious!!! I made these with garlic olives I got from an olive bar, and they were AMAAAAZING

very easy and friendly to assemble, and nice to present. I had them for Xmas dinner, they were good, the kids liked them better than other more sophisticated recipes... so where is the drawback? only, they were nothing to write home about...

These did not turn out at all. Will not attempt again.

This is so easy and tastes wonderful. Even people who don't like olives love these. Try a selection of olives from the olive bar. It's our favorite holiday appetizer.

Great recipe. I added cheese, garlic salt, and pepper.

I tried this with kalamata olives and grated parmesan cheese into the dough as some others had suggested cheddar. I also did the melted butter and garlic powder on top. They taste great, but as others have mentioned the kalamata olives pop out while they cook. Next time I'll try with a different olive and see if they stay intact.

The olives made it a little salty, but I didn't follow the recipe. I used pillsbury crescent roll dough as another reviewer suggested, so maybe that is why. I also added cheese per another reviewer.

These werent as good as I had hoped, I kept thinking they needed "something". They were pretty bland and the olives popped out of most of them.

This was a very easy recipe to make and they looked cute for our Halloween party, but the taste was way over the top salty. I will stick to pickle wraps from now on.

this was a fun and easy snack to make, even for my 4 year old. We used large green olives and kalamata's. Some of the kalamata's popped out of the pastry as it puffed up. Next time I will show my child to mold the dough inward around the olive just a bit to avoid that. Also I baked them a bit too long and the pastry was a little crispy. Otherwise a good snack.

I made these for Christmas Eve today, but I drizzled melted butter over the top and sprinkled with Garlic powder. Without the butter and garlic, they are sort of plain, but still yummy. I will make again, will try adding the cheddar cheese.

Super Easy to Make! and Everybody loved them. A great appetizer

I give this a four cause I made some exactly as the recipe stated and some with added cheese and of course the cheese ones turned out much better. They just cook better. I stuffed my own jalapeno olives. The spicy was perfect.

I have made this a couple of times and everyone likes them. I used small size olives (not queen).

These were so cute! taste was pretty good with the cheddar, but still needs something. I think I'll add some finely chopped sundried tomatoes next time. Also, keep the pastry partially frozen when you start to make it easier to cut the strips (just soft enough to unfold). My pastry was 9" wide, so the recipe made 18 sets of eyes (and 10" long strips).

Nice an easy - if you have small kids maybe slice the puff pastry for them since if you don't use a sharp knife you can crimp the edges of the pastry and it won't puff as nicely. Easy and delish. good one Syd

I made these with the smaller olives and cut crescent rolls in strips but I added chive and garlic cream cheese to it. My son ate them all up as I was Baking another batch!

Made exactly as written. I should have used bigger olives. My mediums got lost in the pastry.

Fun appetizer for anyone who likes olives. Next time I would use a variety of green olives with different stuffing.

I made these for a 6 year old's birthday party, and the children and adults alike enjoyed them until they were gone!

I added grated medium cheddar cheese. These were indeed delicious.

This was ok and I think I would use a lot less dough for each one if I were to make it again - instead of 6 inches maybe eyeball it so the olive is circled once. I did have different sized olives and on the larger olives it was still a little too much dough for my liking.

Great & easy. Fun for a party.

Had as appetizers before Christmas Dinner...Everyone loved them..I pressed a little grated sharp cheddar into the dough and sprinkled Mrs Dash Herb and Garlic Seasoning on the dough before rolling the olives. Absolutely delicious...will probably have for New Year's.. DEFINITELY A WINNER

We love olives ... so this recipe looked to be up our alley. Nope - this lacks flavor . Really needs something else in the center such as a crime cheese base or pimento spread BLAND and salty

It was good but a bit dry. Needs some tzatziki to dip in

Made it like the recipe and it was too bready. I'd like to try it again with a little less wrapping plus something added to the puff pastry to give it some flavor.

Tastes good but needs a little more flavor, easy to make though. I think next time I'll brush with garlic butter prior to putting in the oven.

World's easiest appetizer. Everyone at my party loved it. I used a mix of all different kinds of olives.

Made these as the recipe describes. SO GOOD, SO EASY! Will do these again and again, maybe with the addition of some grated cheese. So easy that I simply cut the strips, drained the olives, and then I had hubby roll and bake them. Keeps kids and spouses busy while they hover around me in the kitchen :)

Flavor good for us who like olives. Many of the olives popped out of the wrapping as the pastry puffed. Need to have pastry wrap more around the top to hold in olive. This should be added to the instructions.

I made half with regular green olives, half with garlic stuffed green olives. The garlic stuffed ones had much more flavor and were preferred. I also pressed cheese into the pastry before rolling as other reviewers suggested. Bland as is, but a great base to play with.

I won’t make it again. Thought it was dry.

Easy to make and good finger food for guests. I will do this again, but cut the puff pastery a little wider. I used large black olives so some of them "popped" out of the pastery as they baked.

Added shredded cheddar cheese. Ok; nothing overly special.

These were great! So easy, but lots of people said they loved them and had never had them. Different. I used Jumbo size olives and they worked great. The olive to pastry ratio was right. Highly recommend.
