GRILLED FONTINA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND MELON



Grilled Fontina With Prosciutto and Melon image

Use very ripe melon. A couple of small pieces won't make your sandwich wet. The Parmigianno is optional, as it may unbalance the sandwich towards saltiness, depending on the saltiness of your Fontina and the sweetness of your melon.

2 slices prosciutto
1/2-3/4 cup grated italian Fontina cheese

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and firm melon for grilling. Cantaloupe and honeydew are good choices.
  • Use good quality prosciutto. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a nice reddish-pink color.
  • Wrap the melon tightly with the prosciutto. This will help to keep the juices in and prevent the melon from falling apart on the grill.
  • Grill the melon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the prosciutto from burning.
  • Cook the melon for about 5 minutes per side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the melon is slightly softened.
  • Serve the melon immediately with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey.

Conclusion:

Grilled prosciutto-wrapped melon is a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The sweet melon and salty prosciutto are a perfect combination, and the grilling adds a smoky flavor that takes this dish to the next level. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
