parsley.
STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES
Let your imagination be your guide! Whether tomatoes are round or pear-shaped,
use your Olive Express to stuff these tiny gems with any of the scrumptious
fillings. These are great to pair with any of our stuffed olives!
Fillings accommodate twenty-four (24) cherry tomatoes. We like to use a mixture of red and yellow tomatoes. Cut top off cherry tomato. Scoop out pulp with a small spoon or mellon baller and discard pulp. Place the tomatoes, cut sides down, on paper towels and let drain for 15 minutes. Prepare filling. Use your Olive Express to PICK UP the filling, PLACE the Olive Express into a cherry tomato, and SQUEEZE the Olive Express together to release the filling into the tomato. Bon Appetite!

Fried Stuffed Olives
Stuffing juicy olives with the Olive Express using all the scrumptious combinations leads to fantastic results. But breading and frying them after they've been stuffed are a pure taste sensation!
The most exciting thing about these olives is that once fried, they all look identical; which means that you never know what filling you are getting until you dive into the plate. A classic bar snack commonly found in Naples, fried stuffed olives are simply superb with a rich, red wine...or with a glass of bubbly!
Instructions accommodate about 40 large pitted green or black olives...here's what you do:
Fill three bowls from left to right with:
1/2 cup FlourUsing your Olive Express, stuff the olives with your choice of fillings.
Spear a stuffed olive with a toothpick and twirl it in the flour.
Swirl it in the egg.
Roll it in the bread crumbs.
Use a fork to pop the olive off the toothpick onto a plate.
Repeat until all of the olives are coated.
Sweet Treats
These little desserts look gorgeous and taste fabulous! Perfect for a tea or shower ...or when that special-someone comes to visit.
CREAM CHEESE AND PECAN STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
Hull strawberries and gently scoop out a hollow depression for filling. Rest the strawberries upside down on paper towels until ready to fill.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract until combined but
still stiff.
Use your Olive Express to PICK UP the filling, PLACE the Olive Express into a strawberry, and SQUEEZE the Olive Express together to release the filling into the strawberry.
Arrange strawberries on decorative plate. Sprinkle pecans on top of the stuffed strawberries. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
