Low‑Carb 3‑Ingredient Cheese Olive Bombs
Servings: 6–8
Ingredients:
1 cup (≈115 g) finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup (≈85 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup (≈140 g) pitted green olives, drained and dried
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Mix shredded cheddar and Parmesan in a bowl.
Pat olives dry to help the cheese stick.
Take about 1 tbsp of the cheese mixture, flatten it, place one olive in the center, and wrap the cheese around it to form a ball. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Arrange the cheese-wrapped olives on the baking sheet.
Bake 12–16 minutes until bubbling and lightly golden.
Let cool 3–5 minutes before serving warm.
Tips:
Mix mild cheddar or mozzarella with Parmesan for a milder flavor.
Use stuffed olives for extra taste.
Add garlic powder or smoked paprika if desired.
Balls can be made ahead and refrigerated; increase bake time slightly when ready.
