I often saw these bites on restaurant menus and thought about how simple they must be to prepare at home. The fresh mint from our garden adds a bright kick to these already delectable temptations. You could use different herbs with the prosciutto; herbes de Provence just provides another level of taste. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

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:

Use fresh, ripe melon for the best flavor. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are all good choices.
Select prosciutto that is thinly sliced and of good quality. Look for prosciutto that is a deep red color and has a slightly sweet flavor.
Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a sweet and tangy flavor.
Fresh mint adds a refreshing flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh mint, you can substitute dried mint, but use less as it can be more overpowering.
Serve the melon and prosciutto immediately after assembling. The melon will start to release its juices and the prosciutto will become less crispy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Melon and prosciutto with balsamic vinegar and mint is a refreshing and flavorful appetizer or light meal. It's easy to make and can be assembled in just a few minutes. The combination of sweet melon, salty prosciutto, tangy balsamic vinegar, and fresh mint is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or light meal, give this recipe a try.
