Measure out 2/3 cup of butter and cut it into small pieces.

Place the butter into a saucepan and put it on medium heat to melt.

Separate 2 eggs, saving the egg whites for another use.

Place the egg yolks into a blender.

Measure out 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar and add to the blender.

Run the blender for about a minute to combine the yolks, lemon juice, and vinegar.

Once the butter is melted and hot, slowly pour it into the blender while the motor is running.

Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust lemon juice or vinegar as needed.

Cut English muffins in half and toast them until crispy.

Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes.

Remove poached eggs and place them on paper towels to soak up extra water.

Assemble by placing champagne ham on the toasted English muffins, topping with poached eggs, and drizzling with hollandaise sauce.
