How to Make
- 1.
Whip up the Creamy Filling
Mix Britannia The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese with sugar until smooth. Pipe this sweet, cheesy filling into a bag and keep aside. This is what makes the Korean cheese garlic bun irresistibly gooey.

Get the Garlic Butter Ready
Melt butter in a pan, sauté garlic gently till fragrant (don’t let it burn). In another bowl, whisk butter, milk, mayonnaise, parsley, sugar, and the egg to make the signature garlic-butter glaze.

Slice & Stuff
Cut the buns into six sections like a flower (don’t cut through). Fill each section generously with the cream cheese mixture. That’s the heart of this Korean garlic buns recipe.

Dip & Bake
Dunk the stuffed buns in the garlic butter glaze, making sure every corner is coated. Place on a baking tray, pipe extra cream cheese on top for drama, and bake at 180°C for 10 minutes till golden.
