(sharp) pasteurized process cheese spread, softened.

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease cookie sheet. In
med. saucepan, heat water, salt and margarine to
boiling. Add flour and sherry, stirring constantly,
until mixture forms ball and leaves sides of pan.
Remove from heat; blend in 1/4 cup cheese spread. Add
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mixture will be smooth and glossy. Drop dough by
teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 400
degrees F for 15-20 mins. until puffed and golden
brown. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool slightly; make
small slit in side of puffs to release steam and
prevent sogginess. Cool completely.

In small bowl, combine remaining cheese spread, olives
and sherry; blend until smooth and fluffy. Slit puffs;
remove any soft filaments of dough. Fill with scant
teaspoonfuls of cheese mixture. Makes 18 appetizer
puffs.

A wonderful holiday appetizer including a rich cheese
puff pastry.
