Ingredients

  • 4-5 pieces raw biscuit dough

Instructions

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 350°F/177°C. Add a baking stone dusted with cornmeal to preheat.

Place the biscuits directly on stone about 1 inch apart from each other. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Let biscuits stand and cool.

Red-eye gravy Ingredients

  • 4 ounces speck
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for ham if necessary
  • ½ cup strong black coffee
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup bone broth

Red-eye gravy Instructions

Set the EGG for direct cooking without a convEGGtor at 375°F/191°C. Add a cast iron skillet to preheat.

Add the speck (and a touch of butter if the ham is lean to help the browning process) and cook until the ham is browned and fat has rendered, 1-2 minutes per side. Gently heat up roasted tomatoes in the same skillet. Once speck is crispy and fat has rendered, remove from pan and set on surface/cutting board.

Pour coffee into the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, scraping the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and loosen any browned bits. Add the broth and sugar; simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced.

Remove the skillet from the EGG and add the speck back in to warm through and coat or pour over ham in bowl.
