Prosciutto and Melon Skewers


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 skewers 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Basic skewers:

  • 1 small cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 small honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 12 fresh basil or mint leaves
  • 12 small wooden skewers or cocktail picks

Optional add-ons:

  • 12 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • ½ cup balsamic glaze or honey for drizzling
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or almonds for garnish
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients

  • Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew into uniform cubes to ensure even presentation.

  • Separate the prosciutto slices and tear them into halves or thirds, making them easier to wrap around the melon pieces.

  • Wash and dry the fresh basil or mint leaves.

2. Assemble the skewers

  • Take a wooden skewer and thread a piece of melon onto it.

  • Wrap a small piece of prosciutto around the melon and thread it onto the skewer.

  • Add a fresh basil or mint leaf.

  • Repeat with another melon piece and prosciutto slice, creating a layered effect.

  • If using, add a mozzarella ball between layers for extra creaminess.

3. Add finishing touches

  • Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.

  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze or honey for extra flavor.

  • Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts or almonds for crunch.

  • Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper for added depth.

4. Serve immediately

  • These skewers are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.

  • If making ahead, keep them covered in the refrigerator and add the drizzle and garnishes just before serving.
