I really wanted to eat something nice and fresh; but I was short on time. What do you think about these quick verrines?
Melon & Cured Ham Verrine
Ingredients
- 1 melon
- 4 cured ham slices
- 6 basilic leaves
Instructions
- Open the melon and scoop out the seeds.
- Cut the flesh with a melon bailer into balls.
- Slice the cured ham.
- Fill the verrines and add a green touch with the basil leaves!
- You can also add some flower of salt on the top to give to the melon a stronger taste.
Melon and cured hams always pair nicely. I’ve done other variations as appetizers where if you have either larger toothpicks or like small wooden skews add in some other ingredients like grapes and a semi-sharp provolone (too sharp its hard to skew on) and serve with wine on the side.
I love the presentation!
Thanks
