Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.

Add Eggs and Seasonings: Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the Buns: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 to 8 bun-sized portions. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
Bake the Cheese Buns: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Optional Butter Brush: For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the buns with melted butter immediately after baking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
