Slather maple-mustard syrup and sour cream on savory waffles that start with a packaged mix.

Savory Pumpkin Waffles

Spray a regular or Belgian waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Combine maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl; set aside. Whisk together waffle mix, pumpkin, water and 3 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl (batter should be slightly lumpy). Fold in ham and cheese.

Add ¼-cup portions batter to preheated waffle maker. Close lid quickly and bake according to manufacturer’s directions until waffles are golden brown. When done, use a fork to lift waffles off grid; keep warm in a 200°F oven for up to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. 

Serve waffles warm topped with maple-mustard mixture and, if desired, sour cream. If desired, garnish with chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
