Many of the appetizers I have posted have been pretty darn simple. And quick. This one takes the cake, though.
Speaking of past appetizers, have you missed any?
Fresh Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Bacon
Baked Brie with Cranberry, Pancetta, and Spiced Pecans
Cinnamon Sugared Roasted Almonds
It doesn’t get much simpler than these olives and gorgonzola. And it is super classy, impressive, and deliciously mouth-watering.
I buy a container of seasoned, pitted olives.
After eating my weight in olives, I stuff a few with crumbled gorgonzola for the hungry guests.
So thoughtful, I know.
These are always crowd pleasers. The soft, creamy gorgonzola combined with the salty olive makes for the perfect combination.
This appetizer is also a nice size – guests can thoroughly enjoy them without stuffing themselves before the main course.
Gorgonzola Stuffed Olives
1 container large, seasoned, pitted olives
3-4 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola
Make sure all pits are out of olives. Fill the olive opening with one large or a few small gorgonzola crumbles.
Serve with crackers, cheese and fresh bread.
Check out these juicy olives.
They also make for a quick, healthy snack. See how small they are? It’s all about portion control, peeps. :)
Enjoy!
(And make sure to save some for your guests.)

How yummy! I usually make stuffed black olives with pepperoni! I think the buffalo chicken dip still takes the cake though… tough choices.

Thi sis BY FAR my favorite post of yours. Can I telly ou how obsessed with olives I am? Literally, since I was a little girl, my relatives are sure to purchase a jar of olives before I come. IN fact, this Thanksgiving my uncle was sure to have both black and green olives out on the table when I arrived. What a treat. And, the cheese stuffed ones are even better, I’m salivating form those pics!

Your guests are certainly spoiled with some of the BEST appetizers! Delicious.
Isn’t it funny that they name squash multiple things? I think they named it buttercup to make it sound more lovely. I enjoyed it but I like Acorn better

Hey Girl thanks for the CPT info and yeah, if I could find one that was holistic in nature, more hippy, less meathead, I’d be all over it :)
Hope you’re having a lovely nite with those lovely olives you just made :)

yumm..i love olives and gorgonzola. will most def try this. if you put yogurt in a cheese cloth and let the way come out, it becomes like a creamy consistancy and it goes great with olives and mint!

Isn’t it funny how the easiest things to make are often the most impressive thing on the table?!
