- 1 Tbsp lemon juice

- 1/8 tsp salt

For the hollandaise sauce
If you haven' already, sepearate the four egg yolks from their egg whites. Save the egg whites in your fridge for an egg white scramble tomorrow!
Melt the butter in a bowl using the microwave, or on the stove with a small pot.
Place the egg yolks in a food procssor (or blender) with the lemon juice.
Pulse a few times, or blend for a few seconds.
While pulsing, slowly pour in the butter from the top. Once fully mixed in, pulse 2 or 3 more times.
Sprinkle in the paprika and salt and mix with a spoon.
For the eggs benedict
Fill a large skillet halfway with water, cover and bring it to a boil.
While waiting for it to boil, toast the English muffin halves. Place two halves on each plate.
Heat a medium-sized skillet. Once warm, cook the pork roll slices—two minutes on each side. Place one slice of pork roll on each English muffin half.
Once the water is boiling, remove the lid. Crack an egg and slowly slip it into the boiling water. Do this for all 8 eggs. Turn off the heat, cover the skillet again, and wait 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and place each one on a prepared muffin half.
Pour the hollandaise sauce on top. Serve with salt and pepper cracked on top if desired.
