Rockmelon Bruschetta with goat's cheese and prosciutto

Out of the Ord - Rockmelon

This week Out of the Ord is spending some time with Rockmelon - otherwise known as Cantaloupe or....

• cantelope, cantaloup, muskmelon (India and the United States); and
• mushmelon, rockmelon, sweet melon, Persian melon, or spanspek (South Africa).

​Here is the first recipe I'll share which we ate last night along with some lamb wrapped in prosciutto, I have an ice-cream bar in the works too and will share that once it has set.

​Matt cooked the lamb which has some bush banana on top - we went hunting for this yesterday and there are some good images of him up a tree which i'm sure he will share on the ABC Kimberley page sooner or later.

Recipe as per TASTE website, also in their 'Entertaining' cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 150g goat's cheese,
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange rind (I recommend doubling this and using 1 teaspoon)
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
• 6 slices sourdough bread, chargrilled (mmm. BBQ usage - I approve!)
• 6 slices Prosciutto
• 500g rockmelon, peeled, thinly sliced lengthways
• Honey, to serve
• Fresh mint leaves, to serve

 
Method

1. Combine the goat's cheese, orange rind and lemon rind in a bowl. Season.
2. Spread goat's cheese mixture over bread. Top with prosciutto and rockmelon. Drizzle over the honey. Season with pepper and sprinkle with mint.
