Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Empty the crisps onto a baking sheet, then sprinkle over the grated cheese. Tear the pastrami into smaller pieces and dot onto the crisps.

3. Drizzle over the honey and season with a little salt. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

4. Meanwhile, make the pickle. Bring the vinegar, water, sugar and aromatics to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the chillies of your choice. Set aside.

5. As soon as the crisps come out of the oven, add small spoonfuls of chevin and more honey.

6. Serve with the pickled chillies in a bowl or platter.
