Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized cantaloupe
- 8 prosciutto slices
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 8 fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by slicing the cantaloupe in half and removing the seeds with a spoon.
Using a melon baller, scoop out small balls of cantaloupe. Alternatively, slice the cantaloupe into thin wedges.
Lay out the prosciutto slices on a clean surface. If they are too large, you can cut them in half to match the size of the melon.
Place one piece of melon onto each slice of prosciutto at one end.
Add a basil leaf on top of the melon.
Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the melon ball or wedge, securing the basil, creating a tight roll.
Arrange the wrapped melon and prosciutto on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the wrapped melon evenly with freshly cracked black pepper and lemon zest for a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. Enjoy the balance of flavors and textures.
