Red Eye Gravy Ingredients 4 large slices country ham (about 8 oz.) 3/4 cup strong black coffee Directions 1 Trim ham: Trim most of the fat from the outer edges of the ham slices. 2 Heat ham trimmings: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the trimmings and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until they render about 2 teaspoons of fat. 3 Cook ham slices: Add the ham slices to the skillet and cook about 10 minutes or until browned on both sides, flipping them several times. Remove the ham to a plate and cover to keep warm. 4 Add coffee to skillet: Pour the coffee into the skillet. Bring to a boil and scrape up the bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup. Discard the rendered fat pieces. Serve the gravy piping hot. @FoodAndRecipesWithCherokee 🦉
