Make the cream cheese filling:
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with salt, sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne powder, parsley and green onions. Mix well.
- Add in the Greek yogurt and mix until incorporated.
- Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag and cut off the tip. Set aside.
Make the garlic butter:

Assemble:
- Divide the cream cheese filling in half and squeeze filling in between each of the slits in the buns, and finish with a dollop in the center.
- Carefully dip the top of the bun into the garlic butter and set it onto the parchment-lined baking pan.
- Repeat with the remaining bun.
- Sprinkle cheese over the tops of the buns.
- Bake at 325°F/163°C for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden in color and cheese is melted.
