The classic sweet and salty combination of cantaloupe and prosciutto will never go out of style, and the addition of fresh basil and creamy mozzarella makes a good thing even better. This bite-sized party app is the perfect snack to serve when you’re looking for the most refreshing summer appetizer. Ready in 15 minutes, these skewers deliver the ideal sweet-salty bite to satisfy every craving.
To make your cantaloupe balls, use a melon baller to scoop out your cantaloupe after discarding the seeds. Layer your cantaloupe balls, mozzarella, prosciutto, and basil on your skewers, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and serve—that’s it! While store-bought works fine, if you’re feeling fancy, why not try your hand at making balsamic glaze from scratch? Follow the recipe in our caprese bites for a simple step-by-step guide on making homemade balsamic glaze.
