Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve 1 cantaloupe and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Cut each half into 4 wedges, then slice the rind away from each piece.

  3. Step 3

    Drape 1 slice of prosciutto loosely over each melon wedge so it folds around the fruit.

  4. Step 4

    Grind the 1/4 tsp black pepper over the top and serve right away, while the melon is still cold.
