Instructions

Make the prosciutto-mozzarella sandwiches

Cut each baguette in half lengthwise and then slice each baguette portion crosswise into thirds.

Place a slice or three of both mozzarella and prosciutto on the bottom portion of each baguette. Drizzle with the oil and sandwich with the corresponding top baguette portion.

Make the cantaloupe soup

Purée the cantaloupe and salt in a blender until smooth. Pour the soup into bowls and sprinkle with the pepper and fresh mint.

Serve the soup with the sandwiches.
