For the Korean Garlic Cream Cheese Bread:
Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chopped parsley and salt. Remove from heat.
Assembling the Korean Garlic Cream Cheese Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut a slit in each slice of bread, creating a pocket without cutting through the bottom.
- Fill each pocket with the cream cheese filling.
- Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and generously brush the garlic butter sauce over each slice.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cream cheese is melted.
For the Japanese Tamago Sando:
Tamago (Japanese Omelette):
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture.
- As the edges set, gently roll the omelette from one side to the other, creating a log shape.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and let it cool. Slice into thick slices.
Tamago Sando:
- Toast the slices of Japanese milk bread.
- Spread Kewpie mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
- Place slices of tamago on one side of the bread and top with the other slice.
