This easy and refreshing starter featuring cantaloupe and cured ham (Parma ham for instance) can also be served as an appetizer: just cut the cantaloupe into bite-size pieces, wrap them with ham and spear them on skewers for a colorful snack! Use superior quality Italian ham for best results.

Extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in a sheath of prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.

Cantaloupe and honeydew melon is blended with lime juice and sugar. This one is great when melons are in season.

A few spears of asparagus, some slices of prosciutto, and a bit of creamy Neufchatel cheese is all you need to assemble this fancy little side dish. Make a few more, and serve them on an appetizer tray.

An adventurous dish of fried polenta cakes, shrimp wrapped in prosciutto and a hazelnut liquor sauce! It is as beautiful to see as it is to eat.

Pork sausage, cream cheese, and sauerkraut meatballs coated in buttery cracker crumbs then baked until golden brown. Great as a side dish or as a passed appetizer for parties. 

Scallop and Prosciutto Bites

Submitted by: KFEATHER 
A different version of the commonly seen appetizer of scallops wrapped in bacon. Using prosciutto allows for the subtle flavors of this meat to come through without overpowering the wonderful flavor of the scallops. I serve this for guests as an appetizer and people love it. It can be made into a main course dish by increasing the portion for each person.

Garlic-stuffed chicken breasts are wrapped with prosciutto, roasted until the prosciutto is crispy, then served with a orange-cranberry jus. This impressive dish is delicious and goes especially well with roasted potatoes, broccoli and baby carrots.
