Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Mix margarine, garlic powder, and chopped onions or chives until well combined.
- Spoon the margarine mixture between the bread slices and spread evenly over the loaf.
- Wrap the loaf in foil and place it on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the bread is baking, beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Separately, beat the egg yolks until thick.
- Fold the egg yolks and shredded cheese into the egg whites.
- When the loaf is baked, fold back the foil to create a skirt around the bread.
- Spoon the egg mixture over the loaf.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
