Direction
- Remove the rind from the Fourme d'Ambert. Cut the cheese into cubes. Let cheese and butter stand at room temperature for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a salad bowl, blend the cheese and butter with a fork until it becomes a thick cream.
- Add the eggs and stir vigorously. Don’t worry if the mixture is not evenly blended.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and a couple of turns of the pepper mill. Mix with a wooden spoon.
- Drain and chop up the green olives. Add them to the mixture and stir well.
- Grease the madeleine pans and put a full teaspoon of butter into each mould. Fill each mould almost to the rim in order to obtain a bump.
- Bake for 15 min. or until golden brown.
