  • Place flour in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Add egg mixture and yeast mixture to the flour. Stir until just moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy). Cover with plastic wrap; let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Gently fold in ham and cheese.

  • Following manufacturer's directions, add batter to a preheated, well-greased waffle maker; cook until golden and crisp. When done, remove waffle with a fork. Keep warm in a 300° oven while cooking remaining waffles.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together sour cream and mustard. Serve waffles topped with sour cream mixture, honey and chives.
