How to make country ham with red-eye gravy:

Make cuts in fat to keep ham from curling. Melt butter over low heat in a heavy skillet; add ham and cook 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove ham from skillet and keep warm. Stir brown sugar into hot drippings until dissolved, if desired. Add coffee and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Serve with ham or with ham and biscuits. Yields 1 cup gravy.

Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 15 minutes.

A strong dose of black coffee, this recipe's key ingredient, will keep many people awake, hence the name red-eye gravy.
