FAQ

  • Can I use other types of melon?

    Yes, watermelon or Galia melon also work well in this recipe. Adjust the sweetness with type of melon.
  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    It's best to make these just before serving to prevent the melon from becoming soggy. If you need to prepare them in advance, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for no more than a few hours.
  • What can I use instead of prosciutto?

    Speck or Serrano ham are good substitutes for prosciutto.
