- Add olives, salt, pepper and the dried oregano.
- Combine thoroughly and refrigerate until chilled (about 1 hour).
- Goat cheese:
- Slice goat cheese and roll into 1" balls.
- Combine almonds(I chop mine fine in the food processor) and paprika in a shallow bowl.
- Roll the balls in paprika almond mix until completely covered all over.
