Prosciutto wrapped melon is a quintessential summer appetizer that you should be eating like fiends while melons are in season (read you don’t have much longer so jump on it). It’s a sweet and salty bite that you’ll be coming back to the serving platter again and again for. The sticky sweet melon paired with the salty swoon worthy prosciutto is hard to resist.

Luckily most of the melon is water so it’s okay to eat say half the platter (no bursting my bubble alright). Typically it’s served in a wedge with prosciutto wrapped around it. You know we don’t do typical so we grabbed our melon baller and went to town on a petite portion that makes a pretty presentation perfect for a party.

Speaking of parties, today we’re throwing a virtual baby shower for our sweet friend Aggie of Aggie’s Kitchen! To celebrate Aggie and her sweet bambino on the way we’re bringing these beautiful sweet and salty appetizer bites that are perfect for partying. To keep things effortless and efficient, you can even scoop them out the night before and just assemble right before your guests arrive.

You know how much we like easy peasy. If you want a variation on the cantaloupe try using a honey dew melon. Options. It should be my middle name.
