Instructions
Note: the source is a photo sequence with no written text; the method below is reconstructed from the step photos. Start with a round of white cheese (a small round of white cheese / Babybel-style disc). Using a fine brush and red food coloring (or a little ketchup / red gel), paint thin red veins across the surface of the cheese so it looks like a bloodshot eye. Slice black olives into rings and pat them dry on paper towel. Place a black olive ring on top of the cheese to form the iris. Fill the center of the olive ring with a dot of ketchup (or red jam) to make the pupil. Repeat with the remaining cheeses and serve.
