Description

Boo-schetta Ghostly Caprese Bites are adorable and easy Halloween appetizers that combine classic Caprese flavors with a spooky twist. These bites feature toasted crostini topped with fresh basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese cut into ghost shapes, complete with olive faces and a balsamic glaze drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds (about 18–20 slices)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • 3 large fresh mozzarella slices (or mozzarella log)
  • 1–2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves (1 per bite)
  • ¼ cup balsamic glaze
  • 4–5 black olives, chopped finely for ghost eyes and mouths
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool.
  2. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or a small knife to cut the mozzarella into ghost shapes. You can use a straw to poke out eye holes.
  3. Place one basil leaf on each crostini slice, followed by a tomato slice.
  4. Add one mozzarella ghost on top of each tomato slice, allowing the edges to drape slightly for a floating effect.
  5. Use tiny pieces of black olives to create eyes and mouths on the mozzarella ghosts.
  6. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought crostini to save time.
  • Use toothpicks or tweezers to place the olive eyes neatly for the ghost faces.
  • For a vegan option, use dairy-free mozzarella and balsamic reduction.
  • Crostini can be made up to 2 days in advance, and mozzarella ghosts can be cut a few hours ahead. Assemble shortly before serving.
  • These bites are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for 1–2 days.
