    Grilled Watermelon

    July 9, 2015 by Kyle Leave a Comment

    Grilled WatermelonDuring summertime there seem to be two staples in our household, watermelon and the grill. Wow! Who would have thought to combine the two. When Joel and I decided to have a "Backyard BBQ" themed Gr8 dinner, I thought this appetizer would be the perfect addition.Grilled Watermelon

    When the watermelon is grilled the sugars concentrate for an extra-special treat. Combined with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the creaminess of the cheese makes this a wonderful new spin on some classic flavors!

    Enjoy!Grilled Watermelon
