Ingredients
Scale
1 10-ounce jar stuffed green olives
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder
2–3 large eggs
Cooking spray (olive oil or canola)
Garnishes: fresh oregano leaves and grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Set Up Your Breading Station: In three separate bowls, whisk eggs in one, mix flour with garlic powder and paprika in another, and place Panko crumbs in the third.
Prep the Olives: Drain olives and coat each in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Egg Dip: Dip floured olives into the egg mixture until fully coated.
Panko Coating: Roll each egg-coated olive in Panko crumbs until evenly covered.
