Red Eye Gravy Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• Country Ham Slices

  12 ounces or more as desired
• 1/2 cup black coffee
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon butter

  or more as desired - you can also use bacon grease.
• 1 teaspoon honey

  optional, for a touch of sweetness - you can also use sugar, brown sugar or molasses.
• Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan and add the country ham slices. Heat a
  few minutes to warm them through, flipping once. Remove and add to a serving
  platter.
• 2 To the hot pan, add the black coffee, water and extra butter. Bring to a boil
  and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any flavorful bits.
• 3 Reduce the heat and simmer 8-10 minutes, to thicken and reduce the red eye gravy
  by half or more. Stir in honey and cracked black pepper to taste.
• 4 Serve over the ham. I like to serve country ham with red eye gravy with creamy
  grits and/or buttermilk biscuits.
