Prepare the Melon and Feta

Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds. Cut the melon into 1-inch cubes. Crumble the feta cheese into small, bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Prosciutto

Lay the prosciutto slices on a cutting board. Cut each slice into thirds, so that each piece is approximately the right size to wrap around a melon cube.

Assemble the Bites

Wrap each melon cube with a piece of prosciutto. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Top each wrapped melon bite with a small piece of crumbled feta cheese and a small basil leaf.

Finishing Touches

Arrange the assembled Prosciutto Wrapped Melon Bites on a serving platter. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh black pepper.

Serve

Serve the Prosciutto Wrapped Melon Bites immediately or chill for later enjoyment. These bites are best served cold.
