For hollandaise sauce
For Eggs Benedict
Make the hollandaise sauce
Start a water bath by adding about 1-inch of water to a saucepan and placing a stainless steel or glass bowl that fits inside without touching the water. Bring the water to a simmer.
Pour the heavy cream, egg yolks, lemon juice, optional mustard, and optional cayenne pepper into the bowl. Let the mixture cook over the simmering water, whisking constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should be at least 160°F (71°C).
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the bowl, whisking constantly.
Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the hollandaise to a new dish and cover it to keep it warm. Set aside.

Poach the eggs
Bring 3-4 inches of water and vinegar to a boil in a large frying pan. Crack the eggs one at a time into the boiling water, but no more than 4 eggs at once (you will do 2 batches).
Let the eggs cook until the egg whites are set, but the yolk is still runny (usually 3-4 minutes). Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Heat prime rib and assemble
Toast English muffins in a toaster or on a baking sheet under the broiler, just until the top is golden-brown.
Slice leftover prime rib into thin strips that will fold easily on top of your English muffins. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of olive oil until the oil begins to shimmer.
Heat the prime rib portions briefly on each side, about one-minute each, just enough to fully warm the leftover meat.
Lay a slice of prime rib on top of the English muffin half. Then, top the prime rib with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon hollandaise sauce over the top of each egg. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and a sprinkle of paprika.
