Cream Cheese & Garlic Butter Buns

To make Buns -healthy ones- check our Buns recipe . They can be slightly bigger than the regular buns, like big burger buns. They have to be cut open in wedges (six), making sure that they are joint at the root/ base. Next, we whip together Cream cheese and Cream (whipping or other). Then fill this creamy mixture in the wedges – up to the brim i.e. generously. Finally, dunk then upside down as in diving, in the garlic butter custard, then re-bake for 10 minutes, such that the cream cheese melts and sinks in the wedges making the buns swell and soften from inside and the garlic butter layer making the buns’ crust, crisp and crusty. Lastly, sprinkle some fresh chopped herbs on the buns and enjoy the sweet- savory exotic taste.
