Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pimento cheese
20 sizable green olives, pitted
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by draining your olives well with paper towels to remove excess brine.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each olive with pimento cheese generously.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.
Roll each stuffed olive in the flour, dip in the egg wash, and coat with breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure they stick well.
Heat oil in a skillet to about 350°F (175°C). Test with a breadcrumb; if it sizzles, it's ready.
Gently place olives into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, using a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels.
Notes
