Ingredients
1 small cantaloupe
1 small honeydew melon
20 slices prosciutto
20 fresh mint leaves
20 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
20 sturdy bamboo skewers
Instructions
1. Use a melon baller to scoop out balls from both cantaloupe and honeydew. Chill them in the fridge.
2. Fold each slice of prosciutto into a rose shape by rolling one end tightly and fanning the other end.
3. Thread one mozzarella ball, a melon ball, a prosciutto rose, another melon ball, and a mint leaf onto each skewer.
4. Repeat with remaining ingredients, alternating colors for a pretty display.
5. Chill the skewers until ready to serve for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Let prosciutto sit at room temperature before shaping for easier handling.
Pat mozzarella balls dry to avoid making the skewers slippery.
Use sturdy skewers to hold ingredients securely and prevent spinning.
