Ingredients
 

  • 1 Cantaloupe
  • 12 slices Prosciutto paper thin.

Method
 

Prepare the Cantaloupe:
  1. Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Using a melon baller, scoop out round balls of cantaloupe. Ensure the balls are uniform in size for a pleasing presentation.
    1 Cantaloupe
Slice the Prosciutto:
  1. Cut the prosciutto slices in half. Then take a strip of prosciutto and fold it accordion-style, creating a bow-like pattern. This folding technique adds texture and visual appeal to the appetizer.
    12 slices Prosciutto
Assemble the Bites:
  1. Skewer a cantaloupe ball with a skewer, then carefully thread the folded prosciutto onto the skewer, placing it next to the cantaloupe. The prosciutto should sit nicely against the cantaloupe ball, showcasing the bow pattern.
  2. Arrange the skewers on a platter. You can stand them up by sticking the skewers into a half cantaloupe base or lay them down elegantly on a serving tray.
