Description

A viral Korean street food favorite — soft bread filled with sweet cream cheese and dipped in a rich garlic butter sauce, then baked to golden perfection. A savory-sweet explosion in every bite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small round bread rolls (brioche or dinner rolls work well)
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk (optional, for smoother texture)
  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar (and milk if using) until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or ziplock bag with a corner snipped off.
  3. Cut each bread roll into 6 wedges (like a flower) but do not cut all the way through.
  4. Pipe cream cheese filling into the center and between the sections of each roll.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, honey (or sugar), mayonnaise, parsley, eggs, and salt to make the garlic sauce.
  6. Dip each filled roll into the garlic butter sauce or spoon the mixture generously over the top and sides.
  7. Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and set.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use soft, sweet rolls like brioche for best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is very soft to pipe easily.
  • You can prepare the filling and garlic sauce ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
