Instructions
- Place the sliced country ham and the milk in a resealable plastic bag and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Remove the ham and wipe dry with paper towels.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ham and cook briefly until the fat is cooked through and the ham has reached a surface temperature of 160 degrees (or follow the package directions for cooking).
- Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside. Keep the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Mix the coffee, water and cornstarch together and pour into the pan.
- Cook while stirring to dislodge all the drippings from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and let the gravy simmer briefly to finish cooking.
- Serve over plain or cheese grits, split biscuits, or over the cooked ham.
Notes
- Choose slices from a good quality dry-cured Smithfield or genuine Virginia ham with a good amount of fat around the edges.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and reheated in the microwave or over low heat on the stove.
