These blue cheese stuffed fried olives are an exceptional vegetarian appetiser, offering a sophisticated blend of salty, creamy, and crunchy textures. The sharpness of the mild blue cheese provides a beautiful contrast to the briny Spanish olives, while the golden breadcrumb coating adds a satisfying crispness. They are a fantastic addition to a drinks party or a Mediterranean-style sharing platter, providing a moreish snack that guests will find difficult to resist.

This simple recipe can be largely prepared in advance, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining. You can stuff the olives a day ahead and keep them chilled in the fridge until you are ready to coat and fry. Serve these savoury bites warm from the pan to ensure the cheese centre is perfectly softened, perhaps alongside a chilled glass of dry sherry or a crisp white wine.
