These classy Prosciutto & Melon Appetizer skewers are an easy summer appetizer that everyone loves. They’re easy to make and are the perfect sweet/savory combo.
Melon and prosciutto pair so well together that there’s no wonder it’s a classic pairing. When you need to make appetizers for a get together or party that everyone will love, prosciutto wrapped melon is the way to go.
You can make these skewers in a couple of different ways, so just go with what’s easiest for you. You can use just prosciutto and melon on the skewer, or add on some mozzarella and basil for a simple twist. The balsamic reduction adds an extra burst of flavor. It’s a classic Italian finger food.
