Ham with Red Eye Gravy image

The way the bitter coffee marries with the sweet, smoky fat is far from unpleasant, and infinitely better than simply pouring the pan drippings over your food.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup chopped fatty ham scraps
4 (1/4 inch thick) slices ham
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
⅔ cup brewed coffee

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ham scraps until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate, reserving the grease in the pan.
  • Place ham slices in the pan and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Remove ham and reserve on a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle flour over the pan drippings. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and pour in coffee into the pan. Cook and stir until combined and thickened. Season to taste. Return ham to the pan to warm through.

This is the best ham recipe I've ever tried. The red-eye gravy is a perfect match for the ham and it's so easy to make.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the ham has come out dry. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ham came out dry and overcooked. The red-eye gravy was also bland.

The ham turned out great! The red-eye gravy was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.
