Red-eye gravy is a Southern favorite. It requires only two ingredients: ham fat and black coffee. It may sound unusual but it is delicious with a bitter coffee flavor that contrasts with the sweet and salty flavor of the ham fat. Easy to make and a fun way to spice up an old-fashioned Southern meal. Red-eye gravy is often served over ham and spread with buttermilk biscuits. Many people also like it on grits cornbread or baked potatoes.

Old Fashioned Southern Red Eye Sauce Recipe – How to Make Red Eye Sauce – The Wolfe Pit
Also known as red ham gravy bird's-eye gravy cedar gravy and bottom sop the curious name "red-eye gravy" is easily explained. It is believed to refer to the light red circle of liquid fat that forms on the surface of the gravy when it is reduced.
Some people add butter or lard to help develop the sauce but this is generally not necessary. A quality ham with a good amount of fat should yield enough drippings to develop what is essentially a thin sauce.
