Ingredients

  • 20 slices white bread, such as Arnold Brick Oven White Sandwich Bread
  • 2 cups smoked cooked ham, chopped (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pickled relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
  • Kosher salt
  • 10 pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced in half
  • Ketchup, for squirting
  • Special equipment: 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Method

  • Punch out rounds from the bread using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter.
  • Lay out the rounds on a baking sheet.
  • Set aside.
  • Add the ham, mayonnaise, honey, mustard, relish, Worcestershire and hot sauce in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pulse until finely chopped, but still chunky.
  • Spoon a tablespoon at a time of the ham mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roll each spoonful into round balls.
  • Stuff 1 olive into the center of each ball for eyes.
  • Lay the balls in the center of the bread rounds.
  • Squirt ketchup around the edges of the bread to mimic veins.
  • Serve to kids and pray they don't cry from how scary these are.
