Soft rolls filled with creamy cheese and garlic butter, baked until golden and fragrant. An irresistible comfort food.

# Ingredient List:

→ Bread

01 - 4 medium dinner rolls

→ Cream Cheese Filling

02 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

→ Garlic Butter Mixture

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
08 - 2 tablespoons minced garlic or garlic paste
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

→ Topping

10 - Parmesan cheese, to taste (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the dinner rolls on the prepared sheet.
02 - In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar and blend, then incorporate heavy cream and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
03 - Transfer the sweetened cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a cut corner.
04 - Cut each dinner roll into 6 to 8 wedges without slicing completely through. Pipe the cream cheese filling into the slits of each roll.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, whole milk, and egg until well combined. Mix in chopped parsley and minced garlic.
06 - Dip each filled roll into the garlic butter mixture, allowing the coating to seep into the wedges. Place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden and slightly crisp.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For the best texture, serve warm shortly after baking. Use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal flavor, and adjust garlic quantity for preferred taste.
