Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Serving board
  • Knife
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 12 bocconcini mozzarella balls
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 6 black olives, pitted and halved
  • 12 wooden skewers
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place one olive half on top of each mozzarella ball and press gently so it stays in place as a pupil.
  • Thread one prepared mozzarella ball, one basil leaf, and one cherry tomato onto each skewer in that order. Repeat until all skewers are assembled.
  • Arrange the skewers on a serving board in a single layer. Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the skewers. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly across the board.

Notes

Make the eyeballs ahead and keep them covered in the fridge until you thread the skewers. If the olives slide, cut a small slit in the mozzarella so they nestle in place. Use a wide wooden board so the skewers lie flat without rolling.
