Can't wait to try this! Frequented Dot's Diner in Boulder Co. in the 70's for breakfast on Sun. mornings, often after trudging miles through the snow: eggs, grits,sausage, biscuits, red-eye gravy+ hot coffee at the counter. Their red eye gravy had cream or milk in it, but I know it traditionally doesn't.

You're right--you can skip the ham. Just Red Eye gravy and biscuits. My dad's Red Eye doesn't call for flour or water--just drippings and coffee. Thin and strong.

My friend Peg from down south introduced me to this classic! Thanks for including this. I love the color and prefer the thin-ness.
