Description
Korean cream cheese garlic bread is a popular street-food favorite made with soft rolls stuffed with lightly sweetened cream cheese and soaked in a rich, garlicky butter sauce before baking until golden and fluffy.
Ingredients
- 6 soft dinner rolls or brioche buns
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Cut each roll into six sections, slicing almost all the way through while keeping the bottom intact.
- Pipe or spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cuts of each roll.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, eggs, milk or cream, salt, and chopped parsley.
- Dip each filled roll into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it coats the bread and seeps between the cuts.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use soft, sturdy rolls so they absorb the sauce without falling apart.Reduce or omit powdered sugar for a more savory version.Add chili flakes or gochugaru for a spicy twist.Avoid oversoaking the bread to prevent sogginess.Best enjoyed fres and warm.
