Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium dinner rolls
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, melted
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
Garnish and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic or garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Parmesan cheese, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add granulated sugar to the cream cheese and blend thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and light.
- Pour the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing until the filling becomes silky and well-incorporated.
- Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag, preparing it for stuffing the bread rolls.
- Take the bread rolls and carefully slice them into 6-8 wedges, being careful not to cut completely through the bottom of the roll.
- Gently pipe the prepared cream cheese filling into each wedge, ensuring even distribution throughout the bread.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, one large egg, and whole milk, whisking until well blended.
- Add finely minced fresh garlic and chopped parsley to the butter mixture, stirring to create a fragrant garlic butter sauce.
- Carefully dip each filled bread roll into the garlic butter mixture, making sure the sauce penetrates between the wedges.
- Arrange the coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet, optionally sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-12 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and the edges become crispy.
