Colorado Organic Heritage Prosciutto & Honeydew Melon/Fresh Figs

Colorado Organic Honeydew Melons Wrapped in Colorado Organic Heritage Berkshire Prosciutto:

If you can find prosciutto that's organic, free-range, with heritage Berkshire pork, use thin slices to wrap it twice around 1 inch cubes of peeled, de-seeded, Colorado honeydew melons.  Spear it with toothpicks.

To prepare the melons, scrub the tough melon skins with concentrated, antibacterial handwashing, unscented dish soap. Rinse off and towel well. Cut it into four sections, then de-seed it with a spoon. Using a knife, chop a checkerboard pattern into it, avoiding the skin. Finally, carve the squares of melon from the skin.

Ingredients for 12 guests:
4 Colorado Organic Honeydew Melons
5 pounds thinly-sliced prosciutto, organic, free-range, heritage Berkshire pork
Toothpicks

You can also wrap the remaining prosciutto slices around fresh, organic Californian figs.

Other quick, easy hors d'oeuvres would be:

Phyllo Baked Brie:

Reduced-fat, whole wheat phyllo dough, already prepared, to wrap around pasteurized (cow, not goat) triple-cream brie. Wrap store-bought, reduced fat, whole wheat phyllo dough around entire brie cheese wheels, then bake in oven. Use a cookie sheet lined with foil, misted with extra virgin olive oil blended with grapeseed oil. 50/50 blend to increase smoke point. Center rack, 325 degrees, 25 minutes, preheated.

Blue Cheese Baked Bella Mushrooms:
Large baby bella mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese, reduced fat, crumbled. Stuff caps and bake 20 minutes, 350 degrees,center rack until cheese bubbles in center.

Mini Italian Grilled Cheese & Sausage Sandwiches:
Organic, spicy Italian sausages, grilled, then sliced thickly. Serve sausage slices on top melted, organic, finely-shredded, pasteurized Monterey Jack cheese and freshly baked/reheated San Francisco sourdough baguette. After you assemble all ingredients, cut it into 4-inch pieces.

Also good to brush extra virgin olive oil, infused with garlic cloves onto the bread, both sides, prior to melting it with the finely-shredded cheese, completely wrapped in foil, in oven.

Heart-Shaped French Toast With Turkey Bacon:

Use heart-shaped cookie cutter after you make french toast. Whisk 8 beaten eggs, 4 packets of stevia, 5 tbl cinnamon, ground, 3 tbl nutmeg, ground, 2 tbl allspice, ground, with 5 tbl Mexican vanilla syrup together. Dip Pepperidge Farm brand raisin cinnamon bread, sliced thickly, into mixture. Fry in misted hazelnut oil, organic. Each side about 3 minutes, on medium heat with a pre-heated, non-stick frying pan. Finally, cut the french toast with the heart-shaped cookie cutter. Serve with cooked, reduced fat, reduced sodium turkey bacon, drained.
