Ingredients
  

  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
  • 12 slices of prosciutto
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cantaloupe

  • Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
    Use a melon baller to scoop out 24 small melon balls.
    If you don’t have a melon baller, you can cut the cantaloupe into small bite-sized cubes.

Assemble the Skewers

  • Take a toothpick or small skewer and start layering your ingredients: first, add a melon ball, then a basil leaf, followed by a mozzarella ball, a piece of prosciutto (folded or rolled), and finish with another melon ball.
    Repeat until you have made all 12 skewers.

Serve

  • Arrange the skewers on a serving platter, then drizzle them with balsamic glaze.
    Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
