EGG GRAVY
My Aunt was having this the other night. This is an old time recipe. If you were born in the 1920's you may have been served this as a child. Fry some sausage or bacon to go along with this.

TEXAS TOAST BRISKET CHEESY EGG SANDWICH
Steps:
- For the brisket: Put the brisket and broth in a medium high-sided skillet and heat gently over medium heat just until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
- For the Texas toast: Heat a cast-iron griddle pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and melt. Put the bread on the griddle and toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes, adding more butter if necessary.
- For the cheesy eggs: Melt the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until the foaming stops. Add the eggs and green onions and cook slowly, stirring, until soft mounds form, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the havarti and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to stop the cooking.
- Put the toast on a cutting board. Top each piece with several slices of brisket, some of the eggs and some chow-chow. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Add the turkey fat to a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and saute until translucent. Whisk in the flour and cook until medium golden brown in color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in pan the drippings with the stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer until thick or until desired consistency is reached, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped egg and season with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Serve alongside that big beautiful bird!
TEXAS-STYLE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY
It is hard to get much more Texan than Chicken Fried Steak. Quality of the beef really counts in this dish. This recipe calls for cube steaks, but good round steak that you have asked the butcher to run through the tenderizer or that you have tenderized yourself with a mallet (no big deal and can be a real stress reliever) can be even better. NOTE TO CREAM GRAVY NOVICES: Gravy-making is an inexact science. Cream gravy is supposed to be thick, but if you think it's too thick, add more liquid until you're satisfied with it.

Steps:
- STEAKS:.
- Beat together the egg and milk and set aside.
- Mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika and white pepper and sprinkle on both sides of beef cutlets.
- Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Then dip each cutlet in the egg/milk mixture, then back in the flour. (You're going to get your hands messy here, so take your rings off.)
- Set cutlets aside on a piece of waxed paper.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
- Oil should be about a half-inch deep in the pan.
- Check the temperature with a drop of water; if it pops and spits back at you, it's ready.
- With a long-handled fork, carefully place each cutlet into the hot oil.
- Protect yourself (and your kitchen) from the popping grease that results.
- Fry cutlets on both sides, turning once, until golden brown.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 4 or 5 minutes until cutlets are done through.
- Drain cutlets on paper towels.
- CREAMY GRAVY:
- After the cutlets are removed from the pan, pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of oil, keeping as many as possible of the browned bits in the pan.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
- Sprinkle flour in the hot oil.
- Stir with a wooden spoon or whisk, quickly, to brown the flour.
- Gradually stir in milk and water, mixed together, stirring constantly with the wooden spoon or whisk and mashing out any lumps.
- Lower heat, and gravy will begin to thicken.
- Continue cooking and stirring a few minutes until gravy reaches desired thickness.
- Check seasonings and add more salt and pepper according to your taste.
