Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Cantaloupe
- 12 slices Prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds using a spoon. Slice the cantaloupe into 12 equal-sized wedges and carefully remove the rind from each piece.
Take one slice of prosciutto and lay it out flat on a clean surface. Place a cantaloupe wedge at one end of the prosciutto and roll it tightly, ensuring the cantaloupe is fully wrapped.
Repeat the process for all 12 wedges of cantaloupe.
Drizzle the wrapped cantaloupe wedges lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with ground black pepper for added flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupe wedges on the grill. Cook each side for about 1-2 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crisp and grill marks appear. Use tongs to turn them gently to avoid unwrapping.
Remove the wedges from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Tuck a small fresh basil leaf under the prosciutto wrap on each wedge for a burst of flavor and a touch of vibrant green color.
Drizzle the grilled wedges with balsamic glaze just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet and savory treat!
