Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon Bites

10 min · 6 people

Ingredients

□

□ 8 oz thinly sliced prosciutto (about 12 slices)

□ 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

□ 1/4 tsp coarsely cracked black pepper

□ 24 wooden cocktail picks

1. Choose one ripe cantaloupe; one honeydew may replace it. Rinse and dry the whole melon.

2. Seed, peel, and cut the melon into 24 bite-size pieces.

3. Cut 12 prosciutto slices into 24 strips; wrap one strip around each piece.

4. Secure each bite with a pick and arrange in one layer; cover and keep cold for travel.

5. Just before serving, finish with mint and a light dusting of cracked pepper.

Cook’s note: Choose either cantaloupe or honeydew, not both; keep the assembled platter cold.
