Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the mixture into each egg white, slightly overfilling them.

For the Hollandaise sauce, whisk the lemon juice, egg yolk, salt, and paprika in a microwave-safe bowl. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking to emulsify. Microwave for 10 seconds, whisk again until smooth.
