The "Eye's" Have It...

Okay, Claude found this interesting recipe and showed it to me the other day. It was for Eye Ball Pizza. He just said, "I really think the kids need to try this one."  I heartily agreed.  From that conversation it ended up being the main course for Hayden's birthday lunch on Saturday.

We've had a bit of an issue keeping our hands on the recipe. It came with the Deseret News we get each week. Claude showed it to me and I left it laying on the kitchen counter. When it came time to gather it for our trip I couldn't find it. Amazingly an extra copy of the Deseret News arrived at our home that day with the recipe in it. I tucked this one down in my craft bag so it would be with us when we left on Friday morning.

When we got ready to make the Eye Ball Pizzas, we couldn't find the recipe at Andie's home. She placed it on a back counter. We eventually found it and made them for lunch.

When we got ready to go home, I remember mentioning we wanted to be sure and get that recipe. We heard Andie say something about it being in a bag hanging on the door. When we got home we didn't have that bag or the recipe. Andie eMailed us the recipe.

Here are directions. It is very simple to do:

Thaw Rhodes frozen rolls. Then roll out each roll in a 4 inch circle. In the center of each circle place a slice of pepperoni, 1 teaspoon of spaghetti sauce, 3 cubes of mozzarella cheese, and another slice of pepperoni. Pull up the sides and squeeze them together to form a ball full of your ingredients. Place each of these balls into a muffin tin that has been sprayed with Pam so that the squeezed together side in on the bottom. Baste the top with one egg that has been beaten up. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (Till golden brown on top.). Let cool for a couple of minutes. Then make a tiny hole and insert 1/2 of a green olive for the center of the eye. Drizzle spaghetti sauce from the olive to look like red veins in the eye (I used a ziplock bag with the spaghetti sauce inside. I cut a tiny little hole in the bottom corner to squirt the spaghetti sauce out.)

That is it folks. They are good. We made 2 dozen and had lots left over. I think Andie was going to try freezing them and see if that works to have for a quick meal some time with the kids.

This is a good recipe and we'll save it to have with the other grandmonsters some day.  In fact, we both agreed it would be super great with the brain jello mold we own. Silly old people!!
