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.)

god i love olives.
my niece can say 4 words: mama, dada, ball (baaaa!), and olive (ah-wiv). she can help me make these at christmas.
because my fiance won’t eat them. how is a baby less picky than a grown man?
How yummy! I usually make stuffed black olives with pepperoni! I think the buffalo chicken dip still takes the cake though… tough choices.
I don’t like olives, but these look delicious – and I must make them for friends.
Another great one is gorgonzola stuffed dates. Super delicious and easy!
Oh yes, so yum. I want these right now. I have olives, but no gorgonzola.
My mouth literally started to water while reading this. You wanna know what’s suuuuuuper yummy? Bleu cheese-stuffed olives in a dirty martini…oh my…Cheesecake Factory. Ultimate martini. Try it today. DEEEEEEEE-VINE.
I’m in for the martinis!
Let me know when you try one (notice how I’m not saying “if”). Haha, they’re beyond awesome!
I bet they taste sublime.
I’ll shake the martinis. You make these. Deal?
Classic!
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
so simple, so delicious!!! I love olives esp if they are stuffed with cheese!!
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
Oh yah! finally olives!! my favorite ! and I’m not sure there would be ANY left for my guest …. he he he
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?!
I LOVE olives but not so much the gorgonzola… but I KNOW my husband and friends/family would love these! So simple yet perfect! Love it!
And thanks for your very nice compliment on my tree. You don’t know how much it means to me! My tree is very important to me!!!
Thsoe look delicious! What a great appetizer that would make.
You are too cute! Olives rule!
Cheese + Olives = heaven
So good!
so easy! I love olives because they always look pretty, you know?
All these yummy appetizers make me wish I had enough space to entertain more often!
this is the perfect machine

another idea…stuff the olives with cloves of roasted garlic
AMAZING
and everyone has to eat one because no one should be left out from having the bad garlic breath
