My Antipasto Eyeballs are a creepy version of a charcuterie platter. Fresh mozzarella wrapped in sliced ham, topped with black olives, and finished with pesto and sundried tomatoes.

Who doesn't love a good antipasto platter? My Antipasto Eyeballs are a creepy addition to any snacking plate.

These appetizers are so simple to make and require only a few ingredients. Ham, mozzarella, olives, and pesto. So simple, but everyone will comment on how positively creepy they look!

I love how the ham and sundried tomatoes create the perfect bite to hold the fresh mozzarella. It is delicious. Sometimes, I like to add a little balsamic reduction to the top of the olives as well.

Ingrediens

  • thin deli ham
  • sliced black olives
  • basil pesto - it is also delicious with a few drops of balsamic reduction as well!
  • sundried tomatoes- can be packed in oil or dried
