Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even temperature for baking.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the cream cheese, minced garlic, herbs, and seasonings until the filling achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.

- Methodically pipe the cream cheese filling into each strategic cut, ensuring even distribution throughout the rolls.
- Generously brush the rolls with the prepared garlic butter, coating the surface evenly for maximum flavor and golden-brown potential.
- Position the prepared rolls on the middle rack of the preheated oven, allowing for consistent heat circulation.

- Upon removing from the oven, enhance the rolls with an additional layer of garlic butter and sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately while the rolls are warm, guaranteeing the most delectable flavor and texture experience.
