What type of cheese works best for this recipe?

We have used mini mozzarella balls, also known as Perlini mozzarella. It is the perfect type to use in this recipe because its mild flavor pairs well with the salty olives. You can replace it with low-sodium feta balls, vegan cheese balls, or any round cheese you prefer. If your choice of cheese is too soft, assemble the “eyes” on top of a round cracker for easy handling.

Tips for making this Halloween snack:

• The olives and cheese are both stored in brine, which might make the final Halloween “eyeballs” too salty. Use types that are low-sodium or stored in low-salt brines. • Any red sauce would work instead of the tomato sauce, as long as it is Keto-friendly and sugar-free. You can use store-bought salsa, sugar-free ketchup, or enchilada sauce. • To keep your serving table mess-free, provide toothpicks on the side.

What type of olives should you use for this recipe?

The best olives for Keto recipes are stored in water and salt brine or olive oil. This recipe uses pitted green olives as they are easier to slice into rings. Their size should also be smaller than the mozzarella balls. You have more flexibility with black olives since they will be chopped into small cubes, so their size and shape don’t matter much.
