Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
This recipe is for Olive Cheese Puffs. If you are a huge olive fan, then these are for you. And, the best thing about them is that they are so easy to make. Bake a few trays of them, and you have the perfect savoury snack to enjoy at anytime of day, and especially at Iftar time!
I would also like to remind you of my second blog, British Muslim Girl. Here, you will find Islamic reminders and inspiration.
