Spread cream cheese on a slice of white bread and top with a second slice.
Using a round cutter or a small bowl, press down firmly to cut out a disk and seal the edges.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Save the crusts to make croutons or breadcrumbs.
In a skillet, melt two sticks of butter over low heat.
To the melted butter, add milk, chopped garlic, parsley, and an egg.
Whisk the mixture together. Make sure the pan is only warm, not hot, to avoid scrambling the egg.
Dip each cream cheese disk into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated disks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
After baking, dip the hot disks back into the remaining garlic butter sauce and serve immediately.
