Cream Cheese Garlic Bread (Print View)

Fluffy bread stuffed with creamy garlic cheese filling, brushed with herby butter, and baked golden—a must-try Korean-inspired bake.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread Ingredients

01 - 1 soft loaf of brioche or milk bread
02 - 4 tablespoons melted butter, unsalted
03 - A pinch of salt (1/4 teaspoon)

→ Creamy Cheese Mix

04 - 225g softened cream cheese
05 - Finely minced garlic, 4 cloves
06 - 1/4 cup of green onions, chopped small
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - A bit of salt (1/4 teaspoon)
10 - Dash of red pepper flakes for spice, if you like (1/4 teaspoon optional)

→ Garlic Butter Topping

11 - 2 tablespoons of melted butter
12 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
13 - 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

# Directions:

01 - Softened cream cheese goes in a bowl with the minced garlic, chopped green onions, parsley (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix it all up until smooth. If you want a little heat, add the red pepper flakes now and give it another stir. Set aside for later.
02 - Turn your oven on to heat to 175°C (350°F). Take a serrated knife and cut diagonal slices into the loaf, spacing them 2-3cm apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through—it should still hold together.
03 - Grab the cream cheese mix and use it to fill the pockets you cut in the bread. In another small dish, mix the melted butter with a bit of salt, then coat the outside of the loaf with it using a brush.
04 - Set the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with foil. Bake for 15 minutes first, then take off the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the top is crispy and golden.
05 - While it's baking, stir together the melted butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl. Brush this mix over the top of the bread after it comes out of the oven, then pop it back in for 2-3 more minutes to really soak in the flavor.
06 - Take it out of the oven and let it cool off for a few minutes. Serve it warm and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Soft bread with a rich, garlicky cream cheese filling, inspired by Korean flavors. Each bite melts in your mouth.
02 - If the bread is just a little stale, it works better since it'll keep its shape when stuffed.
