Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon Bites
Ingredients
- 1 small cantaloupe cut into 20 bite-size cubes
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto cut into 20 strips
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 20 toothpicks
Instructions
- Cut the cantaloupe into roughly 1-inch cubes, about 20 pieces.
- Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each cube and secure it with a toothpick.
- Arrange the wrapped bites in a single layer in an airtight container.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, up to 24 hours, so the prosciutto has time to cling to the melon.
- Just before serving, tuck a small mint leaf under each toothpick.
- Finish with a crack of black pepper over the tray.
Good to Know
Swap in honeydew when cantaloupe is out of season; the sweetness holds up the same way against the prosciutto.
