For a Halloween appetizer that is sure to turn heads, try these simple Mozzarella Eyeball Skewers.
They feature sweet cantaloupe balls and fresh bocconcini wrapped in prosciutto, topped with a black olive.
Recipe Tip
If you don’t have a melon baller, simply cube the ingredients.
Serve these terrifying bites as they are or on a charcuterie board. Sprinkle with flaky salt, and drizzle with mild olive oil and tangy balsamic glaze for a magical combination of flavors.
Use any melon you prefer for these skewers – even cucumber would be a tasty addition.
Green olives would also work a charm for the eyes (especially those with red pepper filling).
