Number Of Ingredients 4

Toasts
Thin slices of prosciutto
Melon, such as cantaloupe
Aged balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Top toasts (do not rub with garlic or drizzle with oil) with thin slices of prosciutto and melon, such as cantaloupe. (Use a vegetable peeler or a mandoline for the fruit.) Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: Look for melons that are fragrant, have a deep orange color, and no soft spots.
  • Scoop the cantaloupe balls evenly: Use a melon baller to create uniform-sized balls for a more visually appealing presentation.
  • Use good-quality ingredients: Fresh herbs, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic glaze will enhance the flavors of the bruschetta.
  • Toast the bread slices lightly: This will give them a crispy texture and help them hold up better under the toppings.
  • Assemble the bruschetta just before serving: This will prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe bruschetta is a refreshing and flavorful appetizer that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and juicy cantaloupe, salty prosciutto, and creamy goat cheese, this bruschetta is sure to be a hit! Serve it as an appetizer, snack, or even a light lunch.
