Cantaloupe Prosciutto Bites

Who knew melon and meat could be such a pear-fect match? These Cantaloupe Prosciutto Bites are the ultimate sweet-and-savory duo, proving once and for all that opposites attract. Fancy enough for a party, but so easy you could make them in your pajamas—because who doesn’t love a snack that’s dressed up and laid-back? Let’s dive in before they’re all gone—slice, slice, baby!

They’re the kind of appetizer that’ll make people say, ‘Wait, who catered this?’ (Hint: It’s you, the snack genius!). With just two ingredients and zero stress, these bites are pro-sciutto-tly perfect!

Step 1: Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Using a melon baller, scoop out round balls of cantaloupe. Ensure the balls are uniform in size for a pleasing presentation.

Step 2: Cut the prosciutto slices in half. Then take a strip of prosciutto and fold it accordion-style, creating a bow-like pattern. This folding technique adds texture and visual appeal to the appetizer.

Step 3: Skewer a cantaloupe ball with a skewer, then carefully thread the folded prosciutto onto the skewer, placing it next to the cantaloupe. The prosciutto should sit nicely against the cantaloupe ball, showcasing the bow pattern.

Step 4: Arrange the skewers on a platter. You can stand them up by sticking the skewers into a half cantaloupe base or lay them down elegantly on a serving tray.

These bites are best served chilled. You can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance their flavor and freshness.

So there you have it—Cantaloupe Prosciutto Bites: the snack that’s equal parts fancy and foolproof. Whip up a plate, watch them disappear, and prepare for your new title as the melon-choly hero of any gathering!
