A Cheesy and Garlicky Treat: Korean Garlic Cheese Bread

January 26, 2025 - by ultimaterecipe10

What Makes It So Special?

The magic begins with soft bread rolls like milk bread or brioche. These rolls are ideal because of their light, pillowy texture, which perfectly absorbs the rich, garlicky butter and creamy cheese filling. The stars of the show are mozzarella and cream cheese, creating a luscious, gooey center. Add to that a generous mix of minced garlic, fresh parsley, and a hint of sugar for balance, and you have a recipe that will satisfy all your cravings. A finishing touch of an egg wash adds a beautiful golden shine, making these rolls as stunning as they are delicious.

This recipe is a hit at parties, perfect as a savory appetizer or as a quick, indulgent snack. They’re easy to make, and the result is guaranteed to impress anyone lucky enough to taste them.

Ingredients

4 bread rolls (soft bread like milk bread or brioche)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Korean Garlic Cheese Bread

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Garlic Butter: Mix softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a bowl until well combined.
Slice the Rolls: Cut a cross on the top of each bread roll without cutting through the bottom, creating four sections.
Make Cheese Filling: In another bowl, mix mozzarella, cream cheese, sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Stuff the Rolls: Gently pull apart the cuts and stuff the cheese mixture into each section generously.
Butter the Rolls: Spread the garlic-parsley butter over the rolls, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
Optional Glaze: Brush the tops with a whisked egg for an extra glossy finish.
Bake: Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and gooey.
Serve Warm: Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Korean Garlic Cheese Bread is best enjoyed warm when the cheese is still gooey. Serve it as a stand-alone snack, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or a side dish to soups and salads. Pair it with marinara sauce for dipping, or enjoy it alongside a creamy yogurt-based dip for added zest.

Pro tip: Make a double batch—you won’t regret it!
