Ingredients

1 medium-sized cantaloupe
8 prosciutto slices
0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
8 fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the cantaloupe in half and removing the seeds with a spoon.

Step 2

Using a melon baller, scoop out small balls of cantaloupe. Alternatively, slice the cantaloupe into thin wedges.

Step 3

Lay out the prosciutto slices on a clean surface. If they are too large, you can cut them in half to match the size of the melon.

Step 4

Place one piece of melon onto each slice of prosciutto at one end.

Step 5

Add a basil leaf on top of the melon.

Step 6

Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the melon ball or wedge, securing the basil, creating a tight roll.

Step 7

Arrange the wrapped melon and prosciutto on a serving platter.

Step 8

Sprinkle the wrapped melon evenly with freshly cracked black pepper and lemon zest for a touch of freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. Enjoy the balance of flavors and textures.
