In small saute pan, melt butter. Add champagne and bring to a simmer.
Gently crack each egg over the simmering liquid, letting the egg ease into the pan. Poach each egg for 2 to 2½ minutes:DON'T CROWD THE PAN...
Remove each egg with a slotted spoon. Lay 2 slices of smoked salmon over each slice of toast and place 2 eggs side by side on top. Add freshly ground pepper, a sprinkle of chives, and, if desired a squeeze of lemon.
