Equipment

Ingredients

Bread Rolls & Cream Cheese Filling

  • 6 soft bread rolls I used King's Hawaiian
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp parmesan
  • 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp parmesan
  • 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt

Optional Garnishes

  • Extra garlic butter
  • Extra parsley

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine your room temperature cream cheese with sugar, parmesan, and parsley. Mix until smooth, then transfer the mixture to a ziploc bag and cut off the corner to pipe.
  • In another bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic, parmesan, parsley, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Cut each bread roll with deep slits, about ¾ of the way down, making sure not to cut all the way through.
  • Pipe your cream cheese mixture into each slit until the rolls are generously filled.
  • Place your filled rolls on a baking sheet and brush the tops with your garlic butter mixture.
  • Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–8 minutes, or until warm and lightly golden.
  • Serve immediately. You can optionally brush on even more garlic butter, but it’s your food, you eat it how you like.
