Set up a clean workspace to make things smooth.
2-Next, cut a small indent in each mozzarella ball to form the eye socket, setting the stage for that creepy detail.
3-Finely chop the 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons kalamata olives; these will act as the eye pieces for a realistic touch.
4-Thinly slice the cured meats 2 ounces prosciutto, 2 ounces Genoa salami, 2 ounces soppressata, and 2 ounces thinly sliced ham into strips about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.
5-Wrap each indented mozzarella ball with a slice of the prepared cured meat, securing it snugly.
6-Skewer each wrapped ball with a toothpick or small skewer, then add a piece of chopped olive, sun-dried tomato, or caper into the indent to finish the eyeball effect.
7-Finally, chill the skewered eyeballs before serving them on your Halloween charcuterie board for the best flavor and presentation.
