Ingredients

  • ¼ pound thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 heads butter, bibb or romaine lettuce

Heat the oven (with the oven rack in the middle) to 400°F.

Lay the prosciutto slices in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the prosciutto), until crisp. Let cool.

Cut up the lettuce and arrange on small platter or large serving bowl. Scoop out bite-size pieces of cantaloupe and place over the lettuce.
