Ingredients
  • 1 loaf sliced white bread
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in the cubed unsalted butter and milk into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined, ensuring the butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  4. Take the sliced white bread and trim the crusts if desired. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice slightly for easier assembly.
  5. Generously spread the garlic cream cheese filling onto one side of each slice of bread. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
  6. Roll each slice of bread tightly, starting from one end. Once rolled, cut each roll into 1-inch thick disks.
  7. Place the disks cut-side down on a greased cookie sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter for an added richness.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk the large egg until well beaten. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each disk to give them a lovely golden color when baked.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the disks turn golden brown and are crispy on the edges.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Garlic Cream Cheese Disks!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Freeze unbaked rolled disks for up to a month, baking directly from the freezer.
