Instead of doing the typical tomato / basil thing, I decided to go out on a limb and try Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.
I love grilled fruit. This recipe would also work with peaches or nectarines.
