Shred 1/4 lb of cheddar cheese into a large mixing bowl, blend in 1/4 cup of soft butter (not melted), 3/4 cup of sifted flour, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Blend thoroughly.
Break off globe of dough and shape around a stuffed olive. Bake on and ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
Nuggets can be refrigerated or frozen to be cooked later, but allow to warm to room temperature before baking.
This recipe came from Martha in Rockford, Illinois as part of a recipe exchange back in the 70s.
A great hors d'oeuvre and something out of the ordinary for us Southern cooks.
