Country Ham with Red Eye Gravy is a southern staple breakfast recipe that starts with salty, dry cured ham. The gravy is flavored with strong black coffee and served over grits.
Thank you so much for the tip about making the country ham more tender. I bought some and it is chewy like you mentioned so I am going to try this milk bath for the first time.
Add the ham and cook briefly until the fat is cooked through and the ham. Remove the ham from the skillet. Mix the coffee, water and cornstarch together and pour into the pan.
