Fried Olives
Ingredients
  • 2 cups  whole pimiento or garlic-stuffed green olives, drained
  • 2 tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup  seasoned fine dry bread crumbs or panko (Japanese-style) bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons  grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine olives and flour; toss until olives are evenly coated. In a small bowl, beat eggs lightly. In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

2. In a large deep saucepan or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 350 degrees F. Dip each flour-coated olive into the eggs, then coat evenly with crumb mixture.

3. Using a slotted spoon, add olives, several at a time, to the hot oil. Fry about 1 1/2 minutes or until outsides are golden brown. Remove olives from hot oil; drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Keep olives warm in the oven while frying the remaining olives.
