Ingredients
- 12 oz Prosciutto di Parma, DOP 2 pack (Costco carries it)
- 1 whole Tuscan Melon or cantaloupe-preferably organic
Instructions
- Option 1: Slice the melon into pieces lengthways, (remove the rind or leave it on). Then cut almost all the way through to the rind.
- Add the Prosciutto
- Next, simply place the pieces of prosciutto on top of the slices of melon, and use a knife to push it down into each cut. These are eaten with a knife and fork.
- Option 2: Create skewers by cutting the melon into small cubes.
- Intersperse melon between half slices of bundled prosciutto
- Option 3: Using cubes of melon, top with a bundle of prosciutto and stick with a cocktail pick or toothpick
- Plate and serve as a bite-sized appetizer, or afternoon snack, and serve with your desired cocktail. Optional: pretend you’re in Italy.
Notes
- Be sure to use the best quality ingredients for this simple appetizer.
- The typical way of serving this is wrapping a piece of prosciutto around the slice of melon.
