Description
Warm stuffed pretzel buns filled with creamy garlic cheese and finished with rich garlic butter.
Ingredients
1 cup garlic herb cheese spread
1/2 cup Italian-style shredded cheese blend
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 pretzel buns (about 5 inches each)
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely minced
1 pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for shine)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic herb cheese spread, shredded cheese blend, grated garlic clove, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
3. Slice each pretzel bun lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Evenly divide the cheese mixture among the buns, spreading it throughout the inside of each roll.
5. Make two shallow cuts across the top of each bun and gently open the cuts. Add any remaining cheese mixture into the openings.
6. Arrange the stuffed buns on the prepared baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, grated garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and kosher salt.
8. Brush the tops of the buns generously with the garlic butter, reserving a small amount for finishing.
9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are lightly golden.
10. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter. For extra shine, lightly drizzle with olive oil.
11. Serve warm.
Notes
For the best texture, serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melted. Reheat leftovers in the oven for optimal results.
