I'm not a big fan of melon, but I loved these skewers! The prosciutto and mozzarella really balance out the sweetness of the melon. I would definitely make these again.

These skewers are a great way to use up leftover melon. I had some honeydew melon that was about to go bad, so I decided to make these skewers. They turned out so well that I'm going to have to buy more honeydew melon just so I can make them again!

I love the combination of flavors in these skewers. The melon is sweet, the prosciutto is salty, and the mozzarella is creamy. The balsamic glaze really brings all the flavors together.

These brochettes are a great way to use up leftover melon. I had some watermelon that was about to go bad, so I decided to make these skewers. They turned out so well that I'm going to have to buy more watermelon just so I can make them again!
