Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Step
Use a serrated knife to cut out 4 holes across the top of the baguette, making sure each is large enough to hold an egg. Wrap the sides of the baguette with aluminum foil to hold it in place and place on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Step
In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
4. Step
Spread the holes in the baguette with the garlic butter, then crack an egg into each hole.
5. Step
Bake the baguette for 15–20 minutes, or until the whites are cooked through but the yolks are still runny.
6. Step
Garnish with chives and black pepper, then cut the baguette crosswise between the eggs into individual servings. Serve immediately.
