Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives
I remember back when I was living in Toronto and watching one of my favorite programs… Frasier! The story was about a psychiatrist, Dr. Frasier Crane, who worked at a radio station based in Seattle. Watching the TV show, I was wondering if I would ever go visit it one day; it sounded like an exciting West coast city to see.
A few years later, I went there with David who’s now my husband…
When we got to Seattle that was it… I fell in love with the Emerald City! It actually reminded me of Toronto which I miss and still do. It became my go-to city when I needed to fill the void from my Hollywood North City!
People are cultured, well-dressed, polished, elegant and well-mannered, enjoying the finer things in life like art, architecture, literature, food, and so on. When it comes to food, Seattle is definitely a “foody” destination! That’s where I got my first “out of this world” Dry Martini. It wasn’t from the mixology but more so the garnish… They served my cocktail with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives! OMG!
When we came back home, I bought some at our local supermarket for an exorbitant price. It was the first and the last time I purchased them from the store. Always having blue cheese and cream cheese at home, I mixed them together and to get even more creaminess in the stuffing, I added a little heavy cream… Tada! My homemade Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives were created!
It’s a quick and very easy recipe to make. After making the stuffing, it really doesn’t take much time at all. When you pit the olives, don’t discard the pimento peppers because you can reuse them for other recipes like my Pimento Cheese Sandwich, Grilled Jalapeño Poppers.
Besides enjoying them with a lovely Dry Martini, these Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives can be a delicious addition to any charcuterie platter. Don’t buy them at the grocery store when it’s much cheaper to make this flavorful condiment at home…

I use a small syringe with the tip cut off to fill my olives. One push into the cheese and one into the olive. Wallah its done.
That’s a great idea Edward! Thanks so much for sharing and have a lovedly evening 🌜
