Ingredients
01
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with goat cheese or feta. Add chopped parsley, lemon zest, garlic (if using), and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Transfer the filling to a piping bag or use a small spoon. Carefully stuff each olive with about ½ teaspoon of the mixture.

Refrigerate the stuffed olives for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and enhances flavor.

Drizzle with olive oil or serve with cocktail picks.
