Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Arrange prosciutto slices on a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until edges curl and centers crisp slightly. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Cut melon in half, scoop out seeds, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick wedges or cut into 1-inch cubes. Arrange on a serving plate.

  3. Step 3

    Drape crispy prosciutto over the melon, or fold prosciutto and tuck between melon pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle hot honey over the entire plate in a thin stream. Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter across.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lemon juice over the top and finish with a pinch of fleur de sel. Serve immediately.
