These cute little Cucumber and Mascarpone Cheese Sandwiches would made a great addition to an Easter brunch this year. A traditional English sandwich with a little bit of an Italian twist!
Cut the cucumbers into thin slices. I kept the skin on the cucumber, but you can peel it if you prefer.
In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, fresh chopped parsley and the black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Generously spread the mascarpone cheese over all the slices of bread. Top half of the bread slices with arugula leaves and top that with cucumber slices. Lay the other piece of bread on top and firmly press down.
Cut each sandwich into 4 small squares.
Arrange the sandwiches on a plate topped with a half of a thin slice of cucumber and serve.
