Ingredients

• 1 whole Honeydew melon
• 1 whole Cantaloupe
• 12 slices Vegetarian prosciutto
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the honeydew melon in half. Remove the seeds from the center using a spoon, then slice each half into wedges. Repeat this step with the cantaloupe.

Step 2

Carefully remove the rind from each wedge, ensuring the melon flesh remains intact. You should have around 12 wedges of each melon type in total.

Step 3

Take a slice of vegetarian prosciutto and wrap it around the center of each melon wedge. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 4

Prepare a serving platter by placing 12 wrapped melon wedges evenly on it, alternating between honeydew and cantaloupe for color variation.

Step 5

Garnish each melon wedge with a fresh mint leaf tucked under the prosciutto wrap for extra freshness.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the melon wedges evenly. Aim for a light coating to enhance without overpowering the flavors.

Step 7

Finish by adding a grind of freshly ground black pepper over the top of each wedge.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack, perfect for summer gatherings.
