EVENT: My first meeting with Ontario Zaar members at an appetizer party 2 hours from home. Party starts at 1pm Saturday. No pressure...ya right!
MISTAKE: I made an appetizer - refrigerated it to allow the flavours to meld Friday evening. At midnight on my way to bed I decided to check out how all of those lovely flavours were working.....YUCK!!!!!
SOLUTION: Find another recipe that I could shop for and make before 11am Saturday morning. I logged on to Zaar - chose yours, made my shopping list and left a note for DH to get me up really early. I was in the parking lot waiting for the store to open at 8am.
PROBLEM: Damn! DH hates olives but I'm making this recipe come hell or high water.
SOLUTION: Triple the recipe - make half as written and swap out the olives for crumbled bacon in the other half.
RESULT: Very pretty, delicious little morsels that saved the day for me.
These will definately be one of my 'go to' recipes for appetizers. Couldn't be easier or better tasting. I used extra old cheddar and only had them in a 375 oven as I was sharing space. It worked out fine. Thanks so much for this little gem!

I took these to a New Years Eve party where they were a huge hit! Even olive haters ate them up once the olive was taken off the top. Thanks for sharing!

Yes the appy party was a hit, and partly due to K9 Owned's contribution of these tasty morsels. I tried both the bacon and the olive versions, loved them both

These little nibblers were a big hit at my appetizer party! Since her hubby doesn't like olives, K9 Owned made half with & half without; both versions were delish. Thanx FT for posting & K9 for preparing!

Simple, delicious, and put together with my favourite ingredients. K9 did a good thing in sharing the wealth. Thanks French Tart for your recipe, and thanks to K9 Owned for putting it together for our Annual Appy Party.... What a team, what a team!

Really excellent pre-dinner snack - perfect with a glass of wine or beer. Easy recipe - I loved that I could do just about everything in the morning and then just chuck it all together when my guests arrived. Great flavour! Thank you for posting!

Hi French Tart, how very delicious! I used brown pumpernickel bread, & pimento stuffed olives. Very delightful! We had made the bread rounds 2 days in advance. The cheese was great but next time I would prefer a more spicy cheddar! I did add some crushed red pepper flakes into the cheddar mixture. Thank you for sharing such a fantastic recipe, that is quick, easy & "purty", Diane :)

I really enjoyed these as a snack this afternoon. I had made some fresh sourdough French Bread and that was used for this recipe. I made 1/2 of the cheese mixture and used 4 rounds of sourdough bread. The conbination of flavors was perfect and I don't think I would change a thing except maybe use black olives next time. It's easy to put together and presents well. Thanks FT for a real keeper.
