Serves: 4–6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: No cooking required

Ingredients

• 1 cantaloupe, cut into wedges or cubes
• 1 small honeydew melon, cut into wedges or cubes
• 8 oz burrata cheese
• 6 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
• Fresh basil leaves
• Mike’s Hot Honey, for drizzling
• Flaky sea salt
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• Optional: Toasted crostini, for serving

Method

Arrange the Melon

Place the cantaloupe and honeydew across a large serving platter or grazing board, arranging the pieces naturally for an inviting presentation.

Add the Burrata

Tear the burrata into generous pieces and distribute it evenly throughout the board, allowing the creamy cheese to become the centerpiece.

Layer the Prosciutto

Fold the slices of prosciutto and tuck them between the melon and burrata to create texture and make the board easy to serve.

Finish with Fresh Flavors

Scatter fresh basil leaves across the platter. Drizzle generously with Mike’s Hot Honey, then season lightly with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Serve

Serve immediately while everything is fresh. Add toasted crostini alongside the board if desired, allowing guests to build their own perfect bite.

Wine Pairing

Butternut Sparkling Brut

Bright, crisp, and refreshing, Butternut Sparkling Brut complements the creamy burrata while its lively bubbles balance the sweetness of the melon and the gentle heat of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Butternut Chardonnay

Smooth and fruit-forward, Butternut Chardonnay enhances the melon’s natural sweetness while balancing the savory richness of the prosciutto and creamy burrata, creating a beautifully rounded summer pairing.

Pro Tip

For the freshest flavor, chill the melon for at least an hour before assembling the board. Add the Mike’s Hot Honey just before serving so every bite delivers the perfect combination of cool fruit, creamy cheese, savory prosciutto, and sweet heat. This simple finishing touch makes the grazing board especially refreshing on warm summer evenings.
