Ingredients

  • 8 ounces green olives it’s up to you if you choose with pimentos or not (or any other type of olive)
  • 8 slices crescent rolls
  • melted butter if desired
  • garlic powder if desired
  • rosemary if desired

Instructions

  • Drain the jar of olives removing as much moisture as possible from the outsides of the olives (juices still on the inside are perfectly okay).
  • Open the can of crescent rolls, take two crescent triangles and pinch two of the perforated edges of the crescent triangles together to form large rectangles. If the can makes eight crescent rolls, you should wind up with four large rectangles.
  • Cut them into 1 inch squares.
  • Take one olive and put it in the center of one of the dough squares. Wrap the dough around the olive in a ball shape.
  • Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the rolls are browned. Serve while warm.
  • To dress them up a step further, consider brushing some melted butter over the top and then adding a pinch of garlic and a pinch of rosemary before serving.
