Prosciutto And Melon Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and slice the gala melon into 1/2-inch semi-circle slices. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each wedge and arrange on a platter.

Steps:

• In 2 batches in a food processor, puree the melon, mint, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the liqueur, lime juice and sugar. Taste for acidity, you may add more lime juice here if desired. Place in a pitcher or bowl and refrigerate until well chilled.
• In a bowl, toss the cantaloupe balls with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon liqueur and let macerate in the refrigerator.
• Cut each breadstick in half crosswise and wrap each piece with a slice of ham.
• To serve, ladle the soup into 4 shallow bowls. Swirl 1 1/2 teaspoons of the creme fraiche into the center of each serving and arrange a portion of cantaloupe decoratively in each bowl. Arrange 2 breadsticks on the rim of each bowl, and serve. Garnish with fresh mint springs.

Steps:

• Scoop out seeds from each melon half. Cut each half into 6 wedges. Remove melon skins. Add 1 slice of prosciutto to top of each wedge. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Add pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Spray a panini grill or griddle with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat. Arrange half of the cheese over the bottom piece of focaccia. Arrange the prosciutto, arugula, and then the cantaloupe atop the cheese. Cover with the remaining cheese, then the focaccia top.
• Grill the panino until the cheese melts and the bread is crisp and golden, about 6 minutes. Cut the panino in half and eat.
