These make a great breakfast or lunch. Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray before each new batch to prevent cheese from sticking. The batter needs to be refrigerated for 24 hours to let the yeasty dough ferment, so prepare it the day before.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
* 1/2 cup warm water (100° to 110°)
* 1 1/2 cups warm fat-free milk (100° to 110°)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* Cooking spray
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten
* 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) diced Swiss cheese
* 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) diced reduced-fat ham
* 6 tablespoons maple syrup
* 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
