Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cheese Olive Bombs Recipe

These Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cheese Olive Bombs are the ultimate savory snack. Combining creamy mozzarella, rich cream cheese, and salty green olives, these easy-to-make appetizers are baked until golden and bubbly, perfect for anyone following a keto or low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold in the chopped green olives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
  4. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about the size of a golf ball).
  5. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and bubbly.
  7. 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.
