Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a sharp, serrated knife, cut a large "V" shape in the top of the bread without cutting all the way through the bottom. Scoop out the inside of the bread.

In medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper then whisk in the bacon, cheese and 1 tablespoon of chives. Pour the mixture into the loaf of bread. Place the loaf on a baking sheet and bake it for about 25 minutes or until the eggs are set.

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chives then cut the loaf into slices and serve immediately.
