Try these in place of ham for a tasty, meat-free replacement

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Tip the chips onto a large baking tray and bake for 18-20 mins, turning halfway through, until golden.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until completely soft and golden.
Tip the flour into a large jug. Make a well in the middle and gradually whisk in the egg and milk until you have a smooth batter.
When the chips and onions are almost cooked, heat a medium nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and wipe with oiled kitchen paper. Pour approximately 3 tbsp batter into the pan, tilting it to coat the pan evenly. Cook for 1 min, flip and cook for a further 30 secs until golden. Sprinkle the softened onion, ham, Cheddar and parsley (saving a little parsley to garnish) over one side of the crepe and fold over the pancake. Cook for 1 min to melt the cheese. Repeat until you’ve used all the ingredients and have 4 crepes in total. Serve with the chips and sprinkle with the extra parsley.
