Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer grazing board combining salty prosciutto, sweet melon, and natural honeycomb for a refreshing and satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (e.g., Prosciutto di Parma)
  • 1 medium cantaloupe or Galia melon, peeled, seeded, and sliced into wedges or cubes
  • 3–4 ounces raw, unpasteurized honeycomb
  • Optional: small wedges of soft cheese like burrata or fresh mozzarella
  • Optional: a few sprigs of fresh mint or basil
  • Crackers or rustic bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the melon by peeling, seeding, and cutting it into bite-sized wedges or cubes (about 10 minutes).
  2. Slice the prosciutto into loose folds or ribbons for easy picking.
  3. Cut the honeycomb into small 1-inch chunks and place in a small bowl or ramekin; scatter a few pieces on the board if desired.
  4. If using, slice or tear cheese into small wedges and scatter fresh herbs around the board.
  5. Arrange the melon chunks and prosciutto on a large serving board with some space between items.
  6. Place the honeycomb bowl and optional cheese nearby, and add crackers or bread slices around the edges.
  7. Optionally drizzle a little honey or olive oil over the melon and prosciutto just before serving.
  8. Serve immediately or cover lightly and refrigerate for up to one hour.

Notes

Choose ripe, fragrant melon for best sweetness. Keep prosciutto cold until serving to avoid greasiness. Use a serrated knife to cut honeycomb cleanly. Drizzle lemon juice on underripe melon to enhance flavor. Prepare melon and cheese first, assemble board last minute to keep fresh. For dairy-free or vegan, substitute honeycomb with agave nectar and omit cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers or fresh fruit only.
