Make hollandaise sauce: Add egg yolks and a pinch of salt to the bowl of the double boiler and whisk until the yolks becomes a lighter pale color and slightly thicken. Remove from heat and drizzle in melted butter while whisking constantly. Add lemon juice.
Heat ham: Add ham to the small saucepan that the butter was melted in, along with mustard and honey and heat over medium heat. Cook until heated through then set aside until ready to assemble.
