Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese with 3.5 tablespoons of sugar, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once ready, transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Set aside.
  2. Warm up a pan over medium-low heat. Then, melt 20g (about 0.7 ounce) of butter in the pan and add the minced garlic. Gently sauté the mixture, making sure the garlic softens and releases its aroma without browning too much. Remove from the heat.
  3. Place the remaining 50g (about 1.8 ounces) of butter in a small bowl and put it in the microwave. Heat until fully melted, which should take about 30 seconds. Or, melt it on the stove instead if you prefer. Check to ensure it has completely liquefied before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Then, in a clean bowl, mix all of the garlic butter custard ingredients together: the sautéed garlic (from step 2), melted butter (from step 3), milk, mayonnaise, sugar, parsley, and egg. Stir everything well to combine, then set aside.
  5. Slice the bread buns into six even sections, being careful not to cut all the way through. The bread should remain connected at the base, ensuring it stays as one piece. This setup is perfect for adding the cream cheese filling into the slots you’ve just prepared.
  6. Place the bread on a board. Carefully pipe the cream cheese filling (prepared in step 1) into each of the sections. Repeat this process for all the bread buns.
  7. Dip the cream cheese-filled bread buns in the garlic butter sauce mixture (prepared in step 4). Then, carefully place the bread onto a baking tray that’s been lined with baking paper, ready for baking.
  8. Apply a layer of the cream cheese filling to the center of each bread bun. (This step is performed separately from step 6 to enhance the presentation by highlighting the cream cheese in the middle, aiming for a visually appealing appearance.)
  9. Bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes. Once done, remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can refrigerate it for a couple of days. If you want to eat it over a longer term, it can be frozen for up to 1 month. Store the buns individually in ziplock bags.
  • To reheat, set the air fryer temperature to 170°C (340°F) and heat for 2-3 minutes if it was stored in the fridge, or 6 to 7 minutes if it is from the freezer, or until the center of the cream cheese is warm and soft.
  • If using an oven, reheat at 170°C (340°F) for about 5 minutes if from the fridge or 10 to 15 minutes if it is from the freezer, or until the center of the cream cheese is warm and soft.
