Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 1/2 Inch Wedges of Peeled Cantaloupe
- 16 Slices Prosciutto Approximately 1/2 pound
- 1 Lemon
- 1/4 Pound Shaved Parmesan
- Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Slice the wedges of cantaloupe into about ½-inch thick pieces for easy wrapping.
- Depending on the width of the prosciutto, cut it lengthwise into halves or thirds.
- Gently wrap one strip of prosciutto around each piece of cantaloupe.
- Place each wrapped piece on your serving platter and repeat until all of the melon is wrapped.
- Cut the lemon in half and, using a citrus squeezer, squeeze the juice from one half over the prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupe. If you don’t have a squeezer, you can simply squeeze the lemon by hand.
- Season with freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Finish by scattering the shaved parmesan over the top.
