📖 Instructions

1. First, grab your melon! Cantaloupe or honeydew work best, but watermelon can be used in a pinch. Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and then slice it into bite-sized pieces or balls. Think about the size of the prosciutto slices you’ll be using. We want them to match, so your guests can enjoy it with one bite.
2. Now, it’s prosciutto time! Gently unwrap each slice of prosciutto. Prosciutto is very delicate, so handle it with care to avoid tearing. Wrap each melon piece with a slice of prosciutto. Make sure the prosciutto adheres snugly to the melon. You can use a toothpick to secure it, if you want, but I usually don’t bother.
3. Arrange the wrapped melon prettily on a serving platter. Presentation counts, right? Think about color and texture. Scatter a few fresh mint leaves around the platter for a pop of green. It makes it look fancy-schmancy, even though it took, like, five minutes.
4. Finally, drizzle generously with balsamic glaze. Don't be shy! The glaze is what really brings the flavors together. If you're making your own glaze (go you!), let it cool slightly before drizzling so it thickens up. If you're using store-bought, just go for it!
5. Serve immediately, or chill for a bit if you prefer a colder appetizer. Honestly, it disappears so quickly at my parties, I rarely have time to chill it. Make sure to have plenty on hand because people always want more.
