Recipe: Eyeballs
This makes 15 eyeballs. Meaning you have one cyclops in the group!
1 small tomato
4 black olives
15 small balls of mozzarella cheese
Toothpicks
Knife
Peel the tomato like you would a potato. Cut the skin into small
pieces. Cut each olive into 4. Cut a very small sliver from the end of
each cheese ball. To assemble, take a toothpick and push it through the
cheese (cut side up). Thread the tomato and the olive onto the stick and
then use your finger to carefully push the tomato and the olive into
the soft cheese to make it look like an eye. Presto, you have bloodshot,
scary eyes.
