Ingredients

For the waffles:
2 cups baking mix or pancake mix (dry and liquid ingredients prepared according to package directions)
½ cup finely diced cooked ham
½ heaping cup finely shredded or grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ tablespoon finely chopped sage
For the gravy:
¾ cup heavy cream
1 cup milk, divided
¼ cup finely diced cooked ham
2 tablespoons mustard (I used 1 tablespoon spicy brown and 1 tablespoon yellow)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour)
¼ teaspoon chopped sage
Additional: garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and a sage leaf for decoration if desired

Instructions

For the waffles:
Preheat a Belgian waffle maker according to manufacturer directions. Prepare baking mix or pancake mix according to package directions, then fold in the cooked ham, cheese and sage. Pour about 1 cup of the mixture into the preheated waffle iron and cook until steaming begins to slow down, 5-8 minutes. Carefully lift the lid and check the waffle, cook for 1 more minute if necessary. Repeat with remaining mix, keeping prepared waffles warm in a 200 F oven.
For the gravy:
Combine the heavy cream and ¾ cup milk in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the mustard and sage and heat until steaming. Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup milk with the cornstarch or flour. Pour the mixture into the heated cream/milk once it is simmering, whisk consistently for about 1 minute. Turn of the heat and stir the the cooked ham. Gravy will thicken upon standing.
