Chef's Tips
For a vegetarian option, substitute the prosciutto with feta cheese or halloumi.
Chill the melon before preparing for an extra refreshing bite.
If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until it thickens into a glaze. Be careful not to burn it.
Use honeydew or watermelon instead of cantaloupe for a different flavor profile.

Classic Risotto
Risotto is a versatile dish; feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, cooked shrimp, or peas to make it your own. Just add your add-ins after the rice is cooked but before adding the final cheese and butter for the best texture.
