Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium dinner rolls
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (113 g) butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsps sugar
- ¼ cup (60 mL) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps milk
- 2 tbsps minced garlic or garlic paste
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- Parmesan cheese, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Arrange oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350°F, lining baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Cheese Filling: Whip cream cheese using electric mixer until silky smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and heavy cream to create a luxurious, uniform filling.
- Bread Modification: Carefully slice bread rolls into interconnected wedges, maintaining bottom integrity, and delicately pipe cream cheese mixture into each crevice for even distribution.
- Garlic Butter Infusion: Blend melted butter, egg, and milk, then introduce minced garlic and parsley to craft an aromatic garlic butter sauce.
- Coating and Assembly: Immerse each filled bread roll into garlic butter mixture, ensuring thorough coverage, then arrange on prepared baking sheet and optionally dust with Parmesan cheese.
- Baking Process: Position in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until exterior achieves golden-brown crispness and edges turn delightfully crunchy.
Notes
- Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Precise Cutting Technique: Slice bread rolls carefully without cutting through the base to maintain structural integrity for even filling.
- Filling Distribution: Pipe cream cheese mixture generously but gently to prevent bread from tearing or becoming soggy.
- Butter Coating Trick: Fully coat bread in garlic butter, allowing sauce to seep between wedges for maximum flavor absorption.
