I spy with my little eye... a spooky vegan recipe for Halloween. *insert evil laugh*

Give your Halloween guests chills and thrills with this Bloody Eyeballs recipe using Shroomeats Mushroom Balls.

Servings: 4-6

Prep Time: 5-10 minutes

Cook Time: 30-60 minutes

Ingredients:

1 box Shroomeats Mushroom Balls (Eyeballs)

1 box Spaghetti pasta (Brains)

1 jar marinara (Blood)

1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese sliced, or any white cheese (Eye whites)

¼ cup sliced black olives (Eyes)

1-2 French baguette loaves (they’re delicious)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

Garnish:

Fresh parsley

Equipment:

1 5qt crock-pot

1 oven-safe skillet 

1 large pot

Instructions:

1. Add Mushroom Balls and marinara to crock-pot on high for 20 minutes, up to 1 hour, and pre-heat the oven to 450 F.
2. While the Mushroom Balls slow cook, cut small circles in the cheese (we used a bottle top) for the whites of the eyes, roughly 16-18 circles, and cut the baguette into 4-5” sections.
3. Once the Mushroom Balls are heated to your liking, add them and the marinara to skillet. Gently place one circle of cheese onto each ball, then add one slice of black olive on top. Broil on top rack for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, then remove from oven. 
4. While the eyeballs broil, boil a pot of water and make the spaghetti per the package instructions. When done, drain the water, add olive oil and set aside. *Tip: Use salt to speed up the boiling process.
5. To serve, add two Mushroom Balls (eyeballs) per baguette section to give the idea it’s looking at you - spooky! Next, add the spaghetti (brains) to a plate, top with marinara (blood), and gently place a few Mushroom Balls (eyeballs). Oh my! It’s Halloween, it’s time for some fun, dig in and enjoy!
