List of Ingredients
1 lb cream cheese at room temperature
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or scallions (spring onions)
1 loaf French bread (baguette)
Suggested fillings:

Chopped raw vegetables
Cooked shrimp or crab meatRecipe
Combine the cream cheese, eggs, and chopped chives in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the soft interior, forming a pair of shallow shells. Fill the bread with a filling of your choice and spread the cream cheese mixture in a thick layer on top of both halves of the loaf.
Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 450 degree oven until the topping is set and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cut into individual portions and serve immediately.
Serves 6 to 8.
