Make a small cut in the piping bag, and fill each roll by piping approx. 1 Tbsp Filling into the opening.
Mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, garlic, salt, and parsley until combined.
Dip each roll into the garlic butter mixture for 1-2 seconds per side, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
