Sometimes you just need a spooky little side dish or appetizer to really make your day. It’s been a rather rough few weeks between pom poms and covid running rampant through my house; infecting everyone even me. Thankfully, the vaccine left me with a really mild case and just a handful of minor symptoms. Now that everyone is on the mend, we can move along with Halloween preparation!

I’m calling this tasty treat ‘Antipasto Eyeballs’ because they look exactly like that. Fresh mozzarella, olives, and some prosciutto is all you need to make this funny little appetizer. Yep, that’s right - just three ingredients and a few minutes of time.

Since there’s so few ingredients here, there really isn’t much to do in the way of lightening these up. A few of them I left without the meat and they were just as yummy and perfect for the vegetarians out there or for those that aren’t a fan of prosciutto.

I originally found the idea for this on Pinterest, but the link didn’t go to a recipe or a how-to. So, here you go!
