Lightly toast the cut sides of the bagel.
Spread the mascarpone cheese thickly over the base of the bagel, then top with the rocket leaves and pineapple. Season with a little black pepper.
Pile the Parma ham onto the bagel and drizzle a little maple syrup over. Put the bagel top in place, then eat!
Cook’s tips: Parma ham partners some fruits perfectly – instead of pineapple, try sliced fresh peach, mango, papaya or nectarine. Watercress works well instead of rocket too.
