Ingredients
  

  • 14 slices pepperoni or Italian dry sausage
  • 8 pitted Kalamata olives
  • 3/4 cup (170 g / 6 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) prepared pesto
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For easier mixing, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • If the mixture is too soft to roll, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up before forming the balls.
  • These bites can be made ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to customize by adding other low-carb mix-ins like chopped sun-dried tomatoes or toasted pine nuts for extra crunch.

Method
 

  1. Preparation
  2. Finely dice the pepperoni slices and pitted Kalamata olives.
  3. In a medium bowl, use a spatula to mix the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh basil, and pesto until well combined and smooth.
  4. Fold the diced olives and pepperoni into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and mix again.
  6. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. For the best texture, chill for 15 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
