Monster Eyeball Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze
Equipment
- Wooden skewers
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- 12 bocconcini mozzarella balls
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 12 pitted black olives, halved
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 12 wooden skewers
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Thread one bocconcini mozzarella ball onto each wooden skewer.
- Add one fresh basil leaf and one cherry tomato to each skewer, placing them right after the mozzarella.
- Press one halved black olive, cut side down, onto the front of each mozzarella ball to create the eyeball effect.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the skewers.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper before serving.
Notes
Make the skewers a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, then add the balsamic glaze right before guests arrive so it stays glossy. If you want a milder olive flavor, use large green olives instead of black. Serve them on a dark platter to make the eyeballs stand out more at a party.
