Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, diced green onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and sugar. Use a spatula to mix until creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Make cross-cuts halfway into each Hawaiian roll to create pockets for the filling. Fill each pocket with garlic cream cheese filling.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the filled rolls on a baking sheet, brush with garlic butter, and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan after baking. Serve warm.
