1/ Cut the Melon into Wedges: Cut the melon into 4 to 8 equal wedges, depending on the size of your melon and the number of servings you need.
2/ Score the Rind for Easy Eating: Make a shallow slit in the rind (on the underside of each wedge) with a knife. This makes it easier to eat the melon with a fork or spoon.

⭐️Turn It into a Light Meal: If you serve this dish with some fresh bread and butter, it can easily become a satisfying light meal or casual lunch.🥖🧈
⭐️Enjoying Port Wine with Melon: Port wine, a sweet fortified wine from Portugal, pairs wonderfully with melon thanks to its rich flavor and higher alcohol content. You can even drizzle a little port directly onto the melon for a luxurious twist.🍷
For a more elegant experience, serve the port in a small glass as shown in the photo Then take a bite of melon, followed by a sip of wine, and savor the harmony. Try a few different ways and find your favorite!
⭐️Personal Note: I first discovered this dish while on summer vacation at my husband’s family home in France. Since then, it has become a beloved tradition in our family🩷 We enjoy it every summer without fail! The refreshing combination of melon, prosciutto, and port wine never gets old, and even our children absolutely love it. It’s one of those simple pleasures that brings everyone together.😊
