Number Of Ingredients 4

Toasts
Thin slices of prosciutto
Melon, such as cantaloupe
Aged balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Top toasts (do not rub with garlic or drizzle with oil) with thin slices of prosciutto and melon, such as cantaloupe. (Use a vegetable peeler or a mandoline for the fruit.) Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: A ripe cantaloupe will have a deep orange color and a sweet, fragrant smell. It should also be slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the bruschetta: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the toppings. You can toast the bread in a toaster or on a grill.
  • Don't overload the bruschetta with toppings: A few simple toppings are all you need to make a delicious bruschetta. Too many toppings will make the bruschetta soggy and difficult to eat.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe bruschetta is a refreshing and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up ripe cantaloupe, and it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give cantaloupe bruschetta a try.
