Step-by-Step Instructions for Salami Mozzarella Eyeballs
  1. Prepare the mozzarella by cutting shallow indentations into the tops for eye sockets.
  2. Finely chop the kalamata olives and press into the indentations on each mozzarella ball.
  3. Slice the pepperoni into varying sizes for texture and visual contrast.
  4. Cut the red bell pepper into small wedges for 'blood' accents.
  5. Assemble the skewers starting with a bell pepper wedge, followed by a chunk of pepperoni, a mozzarella ball with the pupil facing out, and more pepperoni slices, topping with another mozzarella ball.
  6. Chill the assembled skewers in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
