Make the garlic butter:
- In a small bowl (but large enough to hold the bun), mix together the melted butter, salt, garlic, parsley and egg white.
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.
