Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 8 oz (225 g) thin slices of prosciutto
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Wooden skewers or cocktail sticks
- Honey or balsamic glaze (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the melon into uniform cubes, using a melon baller or sharp knife for even pieces. Lay out the prosciutto slices flat on a cutting board.
- Wrap each melon cube with a slice of prosciutto, folding prosciutto into quarters if desired for a more elegant look. Skewer the prosciutto-wrapped melon onto a wooden stick, alternating with other pieces for color and presentation. Repeat for all ingredients.
- If desired, garnish each skewer with a fresh mint leaf. Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze to add sweetness and sophistication. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp flavors.
Notes
- Use super thin prosciutto slices for easy wrapping and a refined appearance.
- Choose ripe, sweet melons for maximum flavor.
- Add herbs like mint or basil for an extra layer of freshness.
- Best enjoyed immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours in an airtight container.
