1/4 pound smoked gorgonzola cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 to 3 thin slices prosciutto, cut into 1-inch squares
24 large, green pitted olives
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, pulsed in a food processor
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
Canola oil, for deep frying
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley (flat-leaf), for garnish
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish

1
Wrap each cube of gorgonzola with a piece of prosciutto, and use to stuff the olives.
2
Combine the panko, smoked paprika, cayenne and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
3
Mix to blend.
4
Prepare three plates for breading the olives: one with the flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with the panko mixture.
5
Lightly coat each olive in flour, then dip in egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
6
Set the breaded olives on a sheet of parchment as you go.
7
In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F over moderate heat.
8
Working in batches, fry the olives until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
9
(Watch the olives closely; if cooked for too long, the cheese will begin to ooze out.)
10
With a slotted spoon, transfer the fried olives to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
11
Let cool slightly before serving.
12
Garnish with the parsley and Parmesan.
