Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at eatsamazing.co.uk.
Ingredients
Directions
- Using the smaller end of a melon baller, scoop balls of cheese from the mozzarella ball.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, so you end up with the same number of halves as the scooped out mozzarella balls.
- Wash the melon baller, then use it to scoop the flesh from each cherry tomato half.
- Place a ball of mozarella in each cherry tomato half.
- Using a single hole punch, punch small circles from the basil for the eyeball 'pupils'. If you don't have a hole punch, you could also cut them out by hand with a small pair of clean scissors.
- Place a circle of basil on the top of each 'eyeball'. Pop a cocktail stick into each eyeball, or skewer them in pairs.
- Serve immediately, or cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
