I think this must be a regional thing.  My mom used to make red eye 
gravy, but it never had coffee in it.   It was a white gravy made 
with fried ham steak, I'm pretty sure there was flour and milk in it. 
It was made pretty much like other gravies, except for the milk.  My 
mom had one of those aluminum shaker things too.

I've never heard of hard boiled eggs in the gravy either.

When I grew up in Wisconsin, we had mashed potatoes and gravy with 
most meals. Every meal had a plate of bread served with butter and 
preserves.   And usually a bowl of carrots and celery.
