Spooky Eyeball Caprese Skewers
Give a classic Italian appetizer a creepy makeover with Spooky Eyeball Caprese Skewers. This elegant snack features juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and creamy baby mozzarella balls (bocconcini). By carving out a small well in each mozzarella ball and inserting a slice of green olive stuffed with pimento, you create a remarkably realistic, bloodshot eyeball. Threaded onto skewers and drizzled with a thick, dark balsamic glaze, these bites are a sophisticated yet playful addition to your menu.
The balsamic glaze not only adds a rich, tangy flavor that complements the sweet tomatoes and creamy cheese but also mimics dramatic streaks of dark blood on the platter. It is a fresh, gluten-free, and incredibly easy-to-make snack that brings a touch of gourmet horror to your table.
