Southern Classic: Country Ham with Red-Eye Gravy

  1. Cook the Ham: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry ham slices until crispy and browned on both sides. Remove ham and set aside.

  2. Make the Red-Eye Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter and pour in the black coffee to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any brown bits left from frying the ham.

  3. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

  4. Serve: Pour the red-eye gravy over the ham slices. Serve with warm biscuits or grits for a complete Southern meal.
