prep time: 8 minutes (not including time to make grits) cook time: 20
minutes yield: 2 servings
2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter, plus extra for

- Melt the ghee in a large cast-iron skillet over
medium-high heat. Place the ham and onions in the pan
and cook, stirring often, for 6 minutes or until the cubes
of ham are brown and crispy. Remove the ham to a
warm serving plate. - Pour the coffee into the skillet with the onions
and, using a whisk, scrape up any browned bits from
the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes or until
the gravy has reduced a bit and thickened. - Place the keto grits on a serving platter. Top them
