- 2 tablespoons kalamata olives finely chopped
- 4 ounces pepperoni stick
- Optional: A sprinkle of chili flakes or yellow bell pepper for a colorful iris
Instructions
- Take each mozzarella ball and cut a small indent on one side.
- Spoon a tiny bit of chopped olive into the indent to create the pupil and press gently.
- Cut the pepperoni stick into thick chunks about 3/4 inch and thinner slices about 1/2 inch.
- Cut the bell pepper into small jagged wedges for a realistic look.
- Thread a wedge of red pepper first, followed by a thick chunk of pepperoni, then a mozzarella eye, another thick pepperoni slice, and a few thinner slices.
- Top with a final mozzarella ball to finish the eyeball stack.
- Place skewers on a platter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Make them in the morning and keep covered in the fridge until party time. Swap bell pepper for chili slices if you want extra heat or make vegetarian versions with plant-based deli slices.
