TO MAKE HOLLANDAISE SAUSE:
In a blender of food processor, pulse egg yolks, lemen juice and salt and pepper for 5 to 10 secondes. Lower mixing speed and pour in melted butter. Set aside to let thicken.
TO MAKE BITES:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Toast all pieces of bread in a toaster. Cut each piece of toast into 4 even squares.
Place toast pieces on a baking sheet. Top each piece of toast with a folded strip of ham. Then, top each bite with a piece of hard-boilded egg. Cover each bite generously with Hollandaise sauce.
Place baking sheet on top rack in oven. Cook for 10 minutes.
Serve warm.
