Keto Friendly Baked Olive Cheese Balls Appetizers (Extremely Low Carb)

This is one of my favorite appetizers. I have been

 making a non-Keto version for about 40 years.

This year, I am serving a Keto Friendly version!

Ingredients:
2 cups finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
3/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour
cayenne pepper (to taste)
50 black (1 can medium olives) or green olives well drained

Method:
In mixing bowl or food processor cream together cheese and butter. Blend in flour and cayenne. Wrap teaspoons of dough around each olive, covering completely. Place so they are not touching on a parchment or wax paper lined tray. Freeze until hardened. Remove from tray and place in bag or container.
Preheat oven to 400*. Place desired amount of cheese balls on a very lightly greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheet. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or just until lightly browned. Makes 50 baked appetizers. (10 servings)
