Ham and Red Eye Gravy
I love this country ham and red eye gravy. This is recipe where you use fatty slices of ham, cook them down to render the fat, then pout a cup of coffee in the skillet and a few seasonings to make a dark and rich gravy. This is a classic southern recipe and it's perfect when you're looking for recipes with leftover ham.
Equipment
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 12-16 oz Country Ham (or leftover ham)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 10 oz Brewed Coffee
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Cajun Seasonings
Instructions
- Add ham and butter to a large skillet. Sauté until ham is nicely cooked and browned.
- Remove ham from the skillet and add in coffee. It will start to start to thicken. Add in your sugar and seasonings. A lot of people don't add in the seasonings, but I feel like it cuts the harsh coffee flavor.
- Return the ham back to the gravy. Serve over grits, eggs or side of your choice. Enjoy!
