Melon And Prosciutto Straight Up Recipes

MELON AND PROSCIUTTO WRAPS

Steps:

• Scoop out seeds from each melon half. Cut each half into 6 wedges. Remove melon skins. Wrap 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto around each wedge. Secure prosciutto with 4 toothpicks. Cut each wedge into 4 bite-sized pieces. Cover and refrigerate.
• Serve chilled.
• (Can be made 2 to 3 hours ahead of time and chilled. Make sure melon wedges are well wrapped so that they do not dry out.)

MELON AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut off the rind of the melon, then slice the melon into long wedges and put on a platter. Squeeze the lime juice over the melon and sprinkle with the pepper. Fold up the ham and arrange alongside the melon.

PROSCIUTTO AND MELON

MELON WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Peel and slice the gala melon into 1/2-inch semi-circle slices. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each wedge and arrange on a platter.

PROSCIUTTO AND MELON PANINO

Steps:

• Spray a panini grill or griddle with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat. Arrange half of the cheese over the bottom piece of focaccia. Arrange the prosciutto, arugula, and then the cantaloupe atop the cheese. Cover with the remaining cheese, then the focaccia top.
• Grill the panino until the cheese melts and the bread is crisp and golden, about 6 minutes. Cut the panino in half and eat.

PROSCIUTTO AND MELON (PROSCIUTTO E MELONE)

Steps:

• Prepare the cantaloupe and cut it into wedges. I find it easier to peel the cantaloupe, once you cut it. So, first, cut the cantaloupe in half. Using a spoon, remove the seeds. Then cut each half into wedges and peel them. 
• Wrap the prosciutto around the cantaloupe wedges and arrange them on a serving platter (left some wedges without prosciutto, since I had more cantaloupe to use up).
• Drizzle a little bit of balsamic glaze or quality honey (or both, if you like) If using, arrange a few basil leaves on the platter. I loved the addition of fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness, but this is totally optional. 
• Serve immediately or chill for a few hours until ready to serve.
