Prep Time: 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Melon baller

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe cantaloupe
  • 12 slices thinly sliced prosciutto

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.

Notes

Presentation: 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.
Serving Suggestion: These bites are best served chilled. You can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance their flavor and freshness.
