For a smoother dough, ensure your butter is properly softened.
Don't skip draining the olives! Excess moisture will make the dough soggy.
These are fantastic with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt after baking.
Experiment with different cheeses – Gruyere or Pepper Jack would be delicious!
If freezing, place the unbaked olives on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Nov 14, 2022I found the dough a little dry, so I added a teaspoon of milk and it worked perfectly.
