Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Honeydew melon
- 1 whole Cantaloupe
- 12 slices Vegetarian prosciutto
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by cutting the honeydew melon in half. Remove the seeds from the center using a spoon, then slice each half into wedges. Repeat this step with the cantaloupe.
Carefully remove the rind from each wedge, ensuring the melon flesh remains intact. You should have around 12 wedges of each melon type in total.
Take a slice of vegetarian prosciutto and wrap it around the center of each melon wedge. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Prepare a serving platter by placing 12 wrapped melon wedges evenly on it, alternating between honeydew and cantaloupe for color variation.
Garnish each melon wedge with a fresh mint leaf tucked under the prosciutto wrap for extra freshness.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the melon wedges evenly. Aim for a light coating to enhance without overpowering the flavors.
Finish by adding a grind of freshly ground black pepper over the top of each wedge.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack, perfect for summer gatherings.
