Butter a 9x13” baking dish. Add the chopped English muffins in an even layer. Tuck half of the Canadian bacon pieces in between the bread cubes, then sprinkle the remaining Canadian bacon evenly over the top.
In a large bowl, whisk together 6 whole eggs plus the 4 reserved egg whites (from the hollandaise), milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Pour the mixture evenly over the English muffins and Canadian bacon. Gently press down with a spatula or the back of a spoon to help the bread soak up all that savory custard.
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. If refrigerated overnight, let sit at room temp for 20–30 minutes to take the chill out. With the casserole still covered, bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Make the Hollandaise: In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard. Blend on low. While blending, slowly stream in hot melted butter until thick and creamy. Season with salt and cayenne.
Drizzle warm hollandaise over casserole, sprinkle with chives or green onions, and serve immediately.
