Description
A quick and easy summer grazing board featuring juicy melon wrapped in salty prosciutto paired with creamy brie, perfect for casual gatherings or light meals.
Ingredients
- Ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon, sliced into bite-sized wedges
- Thinly sliced high-quality prosciutto (e.g., Prosciutto di Parma)
- Creamy triple-cream brie cheese, cut into wedges or bite-sized slices
- Fresh herbs (optional) such as basil or mint sprigs
- Mixed olives
- Toasted almonds or walnuts
- Crackers or thinly sliced toasted baguette (water crackers or multigrain recommended)
- Honey or balsamic glaze (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the melon by washing, slicing in half, scooping out seeds, and cutting into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
- Slice the brie into wedges or bite-sized pieces using a sharp serrated knife, keeping the rind intact.
- Wrap each melon wedge with a thin slice of prosciutto, cutting prosciutto in half lengthwise if needed for easier wrapping.
- Arrange the wrapped melon wedges and brie on a serving board. Fill gaps with small bowls of olives and toasted nuts. Scatter fresh herbs around for color and fragrance. Add crackers or toasted baguette slices on the side.
- Optionally drizzle honey or balsamic glaze lightly over the brie and melon. Sprinkle cracked black pepper if desired.
- Let the board sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to soften the brie and meld flavors.
Notes
Let the board sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften the brie and enhance flavors. Keep prosciutto cold until use for easier wrapping. Use ripe melon for best sweetness. Optionally add fresh herbs or drizzle honey/balsamic glaze for extra flavor. Store leftover components separately and bring brie to room temperature before serving again.
