Preparation

  1. Heat your grill to high heat. Look, we want this thing screaming hot.

  2. Cut the cantaloupe into 16 thick slices - think about the size of a thick orange wedge. You want them substantial enough to hold up on the grill.

  3. Season each cantaloupe slice with cracked pepper and a sprinkle of that chopped basil. Don't go crazy with it, just a light coating.

  4. Wrap each slice with a piece of prosciutto. The salty fat is going to get all crispy while the cantaloupe gets sweet and smoky - it's honestly perfect.

  5. 1 min

    Grill each piece for 1-2 minutes per side, rotating to get all three sides nicely marked. The prosciutto should be crispy and the cantaloupe should have some good grill marks but still be tender. (Don't walk away - this happens fast on high heat and you don't want to char the fruit)
