COUNTRY HAM AND RED EYE GRAVY
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love country ham, and in our opinion, Red Eye Gravy has to go with it, served over warm biscuits. There is nothing better! This is a wonderful treat and one we love to enjoy during the holiday season and then we always question why we don’t have it more often! If you love country ham add this recipe to your list.
WHERE TO BUY COUNTRY HAM?
We usually get asked this question and we are lucky we haven’t had much problems finding it at our local grocery store. It’s normally in the center isle near the ham or on a rack in that area. It can be kind of expensive around the holidays, which is why we like to make it a “treat”.

Country Ham and Red Eye Gravy
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large slices country ham
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup cold coffee
Instructions
- Fry the ham in a skillet on top of the stove. Remove ham from pan, add water and coffee and bring to a boil for about 2 minutes. Serve over ham slices or biscuits. (Note: If the ham does not have much fat on it and is not making any drippings in the pan, add the water before removing the ham and let simmer for about 3 minutes, remove ham and add coffee to water so that the gravy will have a ham flavor).
