Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 12 fresh mozzarella ciliegine (small mozzarella balls)
- 6 Spanish Manzanilla olives, halved cross-wise
Instructions
- Prepare Olives: Cut the olives in half cross-wise, then carefully cut off the rounded tops of each olive half to create an eyeball pupil effect.
- Fold Prosciutto: Fold each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise, then fold in half once more lengthwise to create a narrower strip for wrapping.
- Assemble Eyeballs: Working one mozzarella ball at a time, wrap the folded prosciutto slice snugly around the mozzarella. Top each wrapped ball with one half of the prepared olive, placing the cut side up to resemble an eyeball pupil.
- Serve: Arrange all assembled mozzarella eyeballs on a serving platter. Serve immediately as a fun and festive appetizer at your Halloween gathering.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella ciliegine for the best size and texture.
- Manzanilla olives provide a realistic eyeball look; green olives work best.
- This recipe is no-cook, making it quick and easy to prepare ahead of your party.
- Keep the mozzarella balls refrigerated until assembly to maintain freshness.
- Serve these antipasti eyeballs as part of a Halloween-themed charcuterie board for extra festive flair.
