• 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, at room temperature

• 1/4 tsp. salt  
• 1 c. sifted flour
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 48 small stuffed olives or cocktail onions  

Method

Notes: These can be made in advance & frozen for up to a week if necessary. Freeze the puffs initially on a baking sheet, then place in freezer bag. Be sure freezer bag is sealed tightly. Also, you may wish to add a bit of red pepper to taste. This recipe is NOT mine. It's from a family friend, and the credit goes to her.
