English muffins? No: Buttermilk Cheddar-Jack Biscuits.
Ham? Well, perhaps, but how about another portion of pig: pulled pork. Oh yes, now that's the good stuff.
...there is no way around the poached egg. It could be fried to make Paula Deen proud, but really I'm not trying to kill anyone with butter. Sticking to tradition for once....just once.
Now the hollandaise I am very proud of. It's BBQ Hollandaise. It makes a world of difference.
Now, I'm a little late for this to be your easter brunch, but if your mother likes BBQ for brunch, throw in a side of cheese grits and grilled asparagus and give your mother a wonderful surprise southern style brunch.

2 Teaspoons of BBQ Vinegar Sauce

Slowly stir in a cup of melted butter, two tablespoons at a time.
Once all butter is stirred in, stir in bbq sauce, remove from heat and place a cover over the sauce.
To poach the eggs, bring 2 inches of water to boil in a large pan, and add vinegar.
Crack open eggs directly into the water, cover, and let cook for 3 minutes. Egg whites should be set, and yolk should be slightly soft. Remove with slotted spoon.
