Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of mozzarella cheese (or cream cheese for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup of cooked, seasoned ground beef or turkey
- Olives (black or green) for the pupils
- Small cherry or grape tomatoes for the sclera
- Red food coloring or ketchup for blood effect
- Cooked bacon bits or crispy fried onions for added texture
- Small dessert or edible candies (optional) for extra creepy effects
Instructions
- Start by mixing the mozzarella or cream cheese with cooked ground meat until well combined. Divide the mixture into small, round shapes resembling eyeballs. Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to get uniform sizes.
- Carefully press an olive into the center of each ball to create the pupil. Add a small amount of red food coloring or ketchup around the olive to mimic blood vessels for realism.
- Slice cherry or grape tomatoes in half and place each half on top of the meat mixture to resemble the eye’s sclera. Use a dab of mayo or cheese if needed to hold the tomato in place.
- Use a toothpick or small brush to gently draw red food coloring or ketchup around the eyeballs to mimic bloodshot veins. Sprinkle crispy bacon bits or fried onions around for a bloody, disheveled look.
Notes
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Assemble just before serving to keep the eyeballs fresh and realistic.
- You can add edible candies for extra creepy effects or decoration.
