Projo Football Food and Spirits

Even if the party starts with the day's first game at 1, you can still thread some skewers or toothpicks. Head for the grocery store and buy:.

3/4 lb Italian Prosciutto di Parma
1 cantaloupe or honeydew melon, or 1/2 of each
1 8 oz container of fresh cherry-size mozzarella cheese, each cheese ball cut in half (optional)

You may already have:
Party toothpicks or bamboo skewers
Melon Baller

Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. Using a melon baller, scoop up the melon into small balls. Take a small strip of prosciutto and wrap it around a melon ball. Pierce through with a toothpick and add a piece of mozzarella if desired. Repeat for all melon balls. Arrange on a platter.

Makes about 30 pieces.

Note: I love melon, so I'd probably buy two for 30 pieces.
