Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1/4 ripe Galia melon (or cantaloupe or honeydew)
  • 3 ounces chilled prosciutto (it’s easiest to handle when chilled)
Instructions
  1. Halve melon the long way and scoop out seeds. Slice into four 1 1/4-inch wide wedges. Trim off rind and make two cuts the short way across each wedge to yield three pieces per wedge.
  2. Halve each slice of prosciutto the long way so you have two thin strips from each slice. The slices are separated by sheets of waxy paper, so you’ll need to halve each piece separately.
  3. Wrap each piece of melon with a slice of prosciutto. Place on plates, three pieces to a plate, and serve cold very soon after assembling. Serve with knives and forks; the pieces are larger than bite-size and tend to slide around on the plate.
