Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cut into 1-inch-thick slices, rinds and seeds removed
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pine nuts
Black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Turn on broiler; heat should be medium-high and rack no closer than 4 inches from heat source.
  • Brush melon all over with oil and put on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until beginning to color, 3 to 8 minutes depending on your broiler.
  • Turn melon carefully (or skip it if the melon seems too tender to turn), sprinkle with salt. Broil until melon is fully tender, another 2 or 3 minutes; sprinkle with nuts and pass under broiler again until pieces just begin to toast, no more than 1 minute. Sprinkle with lots of black pepper and drizzle with balsamic. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of melon, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The balsamic vinegar and prosciutto really helped to balance out the sweetness of the melon.

This recipe is a great way to use seasonal produce. Melon is at its best in the summer, so this is a great way to enjoy it while it's in season.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover melon. I usually have some leftover from making smoothies or fruit salads, and this recipe is a great way to use it up.

This is a great recipe for a light and refreshing summer appetizer. I love the way the melon and balsamic vinegar complement each other. I also like to add a few fresh herbs, such as basil or mint, for an extra burst of flavor.
