Ingredients
– 1 cantaloupe or honeydew melon
– 8 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
– Fresh basil leaves (optional)
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
– Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Creating Prosciutto and Melon Skewers is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Melon: Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. Use a melon baller or knife to cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes or balls.
2. Cut the Prosciutto: If the prosciutto slices are large, cut them into smaller, manageable pieces that will wrap around the melon chunks.
3. Assemble Skewers: Take a skewer and thread a piece of melon onto it. Next, wrap a slice of prosciutto around the melon and slide it onto the skewer.
4. Add Fresh Basil: If desired, slide a fresh basil leaf onto the skewer between the melon and prosciutto for extra flavor.
5. Repeat: Continue this process until all the melon and prosciutto are used.
6. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: For an extra touch, drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers just before serving.
7. Serve Immediately: Place the skewers on a platter for serving.
