Skewered Salami Eyeballs are a quirky, savory appetizer made with smoky salami, creamy cheese, and briny olives, grilled to perfection. Fun, spooky, and delicious, they’re perfect for Halloween parties or any casual gathering.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 skewers (4 servings)

Ingredients

  • Salami slices
  • Green olives (pitted, preferably stuffed with garlic or pimentos)
  • Mozzarella cheese (cut into cubes)
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Mustard or favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using, to prevent burning on the grill.
  2. Thread a slice of salami, a green olive, and another slice of salami onto each skewer. Optionally, add a cube of mozzarella between the salami layers.
  3. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  4. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until slightly charred and cheese is melty.
  5. Serve immediately with mustard or dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Substitute pepperoni for salami for a different flavor.
  • Use cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack for variety.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or pickles between layers for extra flavor.
  • Mini skewers or toothpicks work well for cocktail-style portions.
