Ingredients

  • 1 Cantaloupe
  • 12 slices Prosciutto (paper thin.)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cantaloupe:

  • 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.

Slice the Prosciutto:

  • 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.

Assemble the Bites:

  • 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.

  • 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.
