Mozzarella Skull and Olive Skewers
Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 16 pitted black olives
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Place the mozzarella on a cutting board and use a small sharp knife to carve it into eight skull shapes. Work slowly to create eye sockets and a mouth on each piece.
- Slide one mozzarella skull onto a wooden skewer, followed by two black olives. Repeat with the remaining skulls and olives until all eight skewers are assembled.
Notes
Carve the skulls just before serving so the mozzarella stays firm. If the cheese feels too soft to hold shape, chill it for 15 minutes first. These skewers taste best at room temperature and can be made up to two hours ahead if kept covered in the fridge.
