Bloodshot Eyes - an hors d'oeuvre

Yummy, and best served ripped straight from your victim's head oven!

Eyeballs are such an easy "scary" snack; haven't we talked about throwing an eyeball party before?

Comically, eyeball treats are the ones I usually pass off as being to unoriginal to worry about (except for lychee eyeballs because they look so awesome), but these were just a cutsey coincidence: we were making an appetizer to go with our dinner, and they happened to look like bloodshot eyes.

Since they are also YUMMY, I am sharing them with you.

• french bread (sliced)
• olive oil
• roma tomato
• shredded mozzarella
  
• sea salt
• freshly ground pepper
• black olive slices

Place the french bread slices on a cookie sheet; make thin slices out of your roma tomato, placing one slice on each piece of bread. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle just a little bit of shredded mozzarella on each piece of tomato (be sparing - just enough to give it a veiny eye look!). Sprinkle salt to taste. Sprinkle pepper to taste (I would have done without it, but husband-to-be loves the stuff). Place one black olive sliver in the center of each tomato.

Place under your broiler (on "low" setting) just until the cheese is melted and the edges of the bread begin to brown. Serve warm if you can!

The pepper and olive give this a nice, grown-up flavor. Mmmm.
