Bloodshot Eyeball Pizza
1 pkg. (14 oz.) prepared pizza crust, such as Boboli
3/4 cup pizza sauce, divided
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella
8 bocconcini, halved
4 pimento stuffed green olives, cut crosswise into 16 thin slices
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Coat pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Reserve 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce.
3. Place crust on prepared pan. Top with remaining sauce, mozzarella and bocconcini halves, flat sides down.
4. Bake 10 minutes.
5. Remove from oven. Place olive slices in middle of each bocconcini to form “eyeballs”.
6. Bake additional 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is heated through.
7. Place reserved pizza sauce in small plastic ziplock bag. Snip of one corner. Pipe sauce on bocconcini eyeballs for “bloodshot” effect.
Makes 6-8 servings.
Happy Halloween!
