In our house, olives are king and we eat a lot of them … often straight out of the jar, but we especially love them stuffed with blue cheese, rolled in bread crumbs, and lightly fried in olive oil! As the breadcrumb crust browns, the olives heat up and the blue cheese melts, making them absolutely irresistible! If you enjoy olives, as much as we do, you just might need to double this recipe! They also happen to be a perfect munchie for Super Bowl parties!
