What’s good about it?
A great dairy free and gluten free treat for children. You can vary the fillings to suit tastes. When choosing ham look for those without additives and fillers. Remember some packaged ham and breaded hams will contain gluten. If your children are not dairy free you could add grated cheese to the filling too.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Oil a 20cm / 8inch shallow cake tin
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion until very soft, about 5-6 minutes.
