Make the hollandaise sauce first. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, water, and lemon juice until frothy.
Create a double boiler by placing your bowl over a pot filled with 1 inch of water at a simmer. Continually whisk the bowl of egg yolks over the simmering water until it bubbles around the edges and thickens. You’ll feel the egg yolks thicken while you whisk.
Whisk in the salt, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk the butter into the bowl, melting just 1 TB at a time. Again, continually whisk until the sauce becomes thick and doubles in size. Take the bowl off the simmering water and set it aside to cool and thicken.
To make the eggs, heat the olive oil in a medium sized pan over low heat. Crack two eggs in the oil. At your discretion, you may add salt and pepper, but remember the sauce will add a lot of flavor.
Leave the eggs undisturbed as they fry in the oil. Place a lid over the pan to trap the heat and cook the eggs. Cook about 4-5 minutes, low and slow, to cook the eggs to a medium doneness with crispy edges.
To serve, ladle 3 TB of hollandaise sauce on a plate and place 1 egg on top. Garnish with additional sauce and paprika.
