Make these easy and refreshing cantaloupe prosciutto bites in a few minutes or so!

Prep Time
10 mins
Servings: 24 bites
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe cantaloupe
  • 12 lices thinly sliced prosciutto

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
