Ingredients
1 honeydew melon
-
8-10 slices of prosciutto di Parma
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
-
Balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Melon
Cut the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the melon into wedges or cubes. Remove the rind from each wedge or cube.
Wrap with Prosciutto
Take a slice of prosciutto and gently wrap it around each melon wedge or cube. You can wrap the prosciutto around the entire piece or fold it to create a layered effect.
If desired, you can also tuck a small basil leaf between the melon and the prosciutto for added flavor and freshness.
Arrange on a Platter
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped melon pieces on a serving platter. You can place them in a single layer or stack them for a more decorative presentation.
Optional Garnish
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the prosciutto-wrapped melon just before serving for a touch of sweetness and acidity. This step is optional but adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
Serve
Serve the prosciutto-wrapped melon immediately as a refreshing and elegant appetizer. You can enjoy them as is or pair them with crusty bread or cheese for a more substantial snack
