Korean Cream Cheese Garlic Bread is a popular street food made from soft buns filled with sweetened cream cheese and drenched in a savory garlic butter sauce, then baked until crispy on the outside and creamy inside.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 small round bread rolls (brioche or milk buns preferred)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
  3. Cut each bread roll into 6 wedges, leaving the bottom intact.
  4. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the cuts of each roll.
  5. In another bowl, mix melted butter, mayonnaise, garlic, honey, egg, milk, and parsley until well combined.
  6. Dip or spoon the garlic butter mixture over each roll, coating thoroughly.
  7. Place rolls on the baking tray and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and crisp.
  8. Let cool slightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use brioche for the richest flavor and softest texture.
  • The cream cheese mixture can be made in advance and refrigerated.
  • Adjust sugar or honey for preferred sweetness level.
  • Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a toaster oven.
