Mom's Cheese Olive Tarts

This recipe is courtesy of my sweet Mom.  She always would make these for dinner parties and such because these make great hor'dourves.  If you like olives you will love this recipe.  Be sure to use just enough of the cheese mixture to coat the olives.  In my pictures above I used a little too much of the coating and probably could have used about half as much.  


2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated fine
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup soft butter
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp Tabasco
1/2 tsp salt
36 small stuffed green olives


Blend cheese with butter.  Stir in flour, salt, Tabasco and paprika.  Wrap about a teaspoon or so of this mixture around each olive.  Arrange on a cookie sheet (you can freeze at this point if you want).  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
