Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 12 whole fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting the melon in half. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
2. Slice each half of the melon into 6 wedges, totaling 12 wedges.
3. Carefully remove the rind from each melon wedge so you are left with just the flesh.
4. Take one slice of prosciutto and wrap it around the middle of each piece of melon. Ensure it is snug but not too tight to damage the melon piece.
5. Tuck a fresh basil leaf inside the wrapped prosciutto on each melon piece for additional flavor.
6. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped melon wedges on a serving platter.
7. Drizzle balsamic glaze over each piece for added sweetness and presentation.
8. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light snack.
