Follow these steps to create your delicious Eyeball Olive Puffs:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
3. Cut Out Shapes: Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out 3-inch circles from the pastry.
4. Make Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with dried herbs until well combined.
5. Fill Puffs: Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry circle.
6. Add Olives: Place an olive in the center of the cream cheese, pressing down slightly to secure.
7. Seal the Puffs: Fold the pastry over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal securely.
8. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and flaky.
10. Finish with Detail (Optional): Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle a bit of red food coloring or ketchup around the edges to mimic “blood.”

These simple steps will lead you to a plateful of Eyeball Olive Puffs that are both visually striking and delicious!
