Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 4

10-12 oz Prosciutto Crudo (, super thin slices)
1 medium size cantaloupe
10-12 oz Mozzarella Pearls
Fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Start by washing and drying cantaloupe with a paper towel.Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds.Save one half for decoration where you'll stack the skewers into.
  • Using a simple melon baller scoop out melon balls and set aside.
  • If you have extra large pieces of prosciutto cut them in the diagonal.
  • Drain mozzarella pearls from excess liquid.
  • Tap basil leaves with damp cloth to remove any dust. Don't wash them.
  • Place the half of the cantaloupe you have set aside on a serving dish.
  • Using 5 and 10 inch kabob skewers stack ingredients starting with those you want to be on the top.We'll start with basil leaf and a melon ball, followed by prosciutto and mozzarella pearl and so on.You can finish with mozzarella pearl or melon ball (which I prefer) if you have still space on the skewer.
  • As you finish each skewer stick it into the cantaloupe half.
  • Serve immediately or store in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
