- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and softened cream cheese. Mix with a fork or your hands until a smooth, creamy consistency is reached.
- Fold in the chopped green olives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
- Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and bubbly.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the tray before serving warm.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
- You can pat the olives dry with a paper towel after chopping to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- For a spicy kick, use olives stuffed with pimentos or jalapeños.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain texture.
