HAM AND RED-EYE GRAVY

HAM AND RED-EYE GRAVY

Ingredients:
1 cup hot coffee
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions:
1. Place a skillet over medium heat. Place 1 or 2 ham slices in the skillet and cook
each side for 3–5 minutes, or until the ham is browned and the fat has rendered.
Remove ham from the skillet and keep warm; repeat with the remaining ham
slices.
2. Add 1⁄ cup coffee to the skillet with the brown sugar. Stir until it is melted. Add
2
the ham slices back to the skillet, cover, and cook 3 minutes. Remove the ham to
a plate and keep warm.
3. Discard any pieces of fat in the skillet. Add the rest of the coffee. Increase the
heat to medium-high, and stir to remove any stuck-on bits. Simmer for 3 minutes.
4. Pour the gravy over the ham and serve while warm.
BIRD IN A NEST
To make this a one pot breakfast, you can fry a slice of bacon in the skillet and then
cook the nest in the drippings. And to make it fancier you can garnish it with pesto,
a sun-dried tomato, some chopped olives, or a roasted red pepper strip.
