Jul 1 BRIDAL SHOWER BITES: TWO EASY & ELEGANT HORS D' OEUVRES

Prosciutto & Honeydew Skewers

A take on the Mediterranean classic, these little skewers are visual and flavorful. I like to use honeydew instead of cantaloupe, as the color combo is so pretty!

Ingredients

1 honeydew melon
4 oz thinly sliced Prosciutto Olive Oil
Black pepper
Basil
Toothpicks

Preparation

1. Cut the melon into bite sized pieces.
2. Roll up strips of the Prosciutto.
3. Place a toothpick into each piece of
Prosciutto and then add the melon.
4. Set on a plate, drizzle with olive oil and crack black pepper over the top. 5. Garnish with basil and rose petals.
