Ingredients

Method

Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Pat green olives dry with paper towels, set aside. In large bowl, whisk together flour, Cajun seasoning and salt.

In another bowl, stir together cheese, butter and parsley; add flour mixture and stir to make smooth dough. Shape by heaping tablespoonfuls (5 mL) into balls; flatten into rounds. Place olive in centre of each round and wrap to encase completely; gently roll on work surface to smooth pastry. Place on prepared baking sheet. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze in airtight container for up to 1 week.)

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until bottoms are darkened and pastry is firm, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
