Stuffed Olives with Sun Dried Tomatoes

 

1 8 oz. tub cream cheese with chive & onion or roasted garlic

1/2 cup drained sun dried tomatoes in oil, minced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 5.75 oz. cans colossal olives, drained

red leaf lettuce leaves

basil sprigs, optional

 

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, basil, salt and

pepper; mix well. Transfer mixture to a zip top plastic food storage bag or

pastry bag with a 1/4-inch plain tip or open star tip. At this point, bag may be

chilled until ready to serve.

To serve, cut a tiny end off food storage bag. Pipe cheese mixture into each

olive, letting a small amount of mixture mound out of olive. Transfer stuffed

olives to a lettuce-lined serving plate or platter. Garnish with basil sprigs,

if desired.

Makes about 2 dozen stuffed olives.

Sounds yummy, thanks.

I'll have to try this, my hubby loves stuffed olives in his martinis.
