| Cooking
Instructions: |
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
In a medium bowl beat the butter until very soft and smooth.
Add the paprika and cayeen and blend well.
Add the cheeses and mix well.
Stir in bake mix.
Take an olive and insert the chunk of pepperoni.
With your fingers wrap about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the dough around the olive, leaving a small part of it outside the dough to form an iris on the eye (use pepperoni stuffed opening for the part that is seen for the best effect). Roll the mixture into a smooth ball and place one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake until the cheddar pastry is firm and crispy, but not browned, about 12 minutes.
Serve hot or cold. |
