Step 5
Place one fresh basil leaf on top of each prosciutto-wrapped melon slice.
Step 6
Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the top of each piece, creating a thin zig-zag pattern for decorative effect.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil evenly across the arrangements for added flavor.

Finish by sprinkling cracked black pepper over the top to add a subtle spice.
