Ingredients
- 1 1-pound country ham slice, about 1/2-inch thick
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat ham slice in a small skillet or sauté pan over low or medium-low heat for 3 or 4 minutes per side, turning to evenly cook. Cooking over low heat will allow you to render the ham juice needed to make the gravy. Once cooked, remove the ham and set aside.
- Add the coffee to the skillet and turn the heat up just a bit and stir constantly, scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes. This gravy has no thickening ingredients, so it’s very thin.
- Ham and gravy are best served with eggs and biscuits.
- Makes 1 to 2 servings.
