Description
Discover the fun and spooky Salami Mozzarella Eyeballs Recipe – a perfect savory appetizer for Halloween parties and themed gatherings. These creepy yet delicious bites combine savory salami with creamy mozzarella to create a visually striking and tasty party food that will impress your guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 slices of salami
- 12 mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- Black olive slices (for pupils)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Cherry tomatoes (optional, for added color)
- Toothpicks or small skewers
- Seasonal decorative toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Start by laying out the slices of salami on a clean surface. Using a small round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the salami slices to mimic eyeballs. If you don’t have a cutter, cut small rounds with a sharp knife for a realistic look.
- Place a mini mozzarella ball in the center of each salami circle. Secure with a toothpick or small skewer, pressing gently to keep in place.
- Insert a black olive slice onto the mozzarella to mimic the pupil. Add a small piece of red pepper or chili for veins if desired.
- Arrange the salami mozzarella bites on a serving platter. Garnish with basil leaves, cherry tomatoes, or decorative toppings for a spooky presentation.
Notes
- Keep the assembled bites refrigerated and assemble just before serving for best freshness.
- For extra color, use vibrant salami slices or add additional decorations like red veined peppers.
