A burst of savoury flavour is nestled in each olive. An assertive Danish blue cheese is best – and most economical.

Preparation
Trim top off garlic to expose cloves. Place on small square of foil and drizzle with oil; seal package. Roast in 375°F (190°C) oven until tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool enough to handle; squeeze out cloves into bowl. Add cheese and pepper; mash until blended.
Rinse olives; pat dry. Using piping bag with large round tip (or sealable plastic bag with corner snipped off), pipe filling into olives.
(Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
Additional information : Tip: If you can't find pitted green olives, remove the pimiento from jarred stuffed green olives.
