                      1 egg white 
                      1 tsp milk 
                      2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  
                     
 
                     
                    
                      
                    Preparation
                    
                      In small bowl, combine filling ingredients; mix well, refrigerate. 
                      Grease 13 x 9" pan. In large bowl, combine flour mixture with yeast 
                      from foil packet, pine nuts, parsley, basil, tarragon and garlic 
                      powder; mix well. Stir in hot water, butter and egg until dough pulls 
                      away from sides of bowl. Turn dough out onto lightly floured 
                      surface. With greased or floured hands, shape dough into a ball. 
                      Knead dough 5 minutes until smooth, sprinkling with additional flour 
                      if necessary to reduce stickiness. Cover dough with large bowl; let 
                      rest 5 minutes. Divide cream cheese mixture into 12 equal pieces; 
                      flatten each to a 3" circle. Place cheese piece on center of each 
                      circle. Wrap dough around cheese, pressing edges of dough to seal. 
                      Place rolls, seam side down, in greased pan. Cover loosely with 
                      greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place for 30 
                      minutes or until doubled in size. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover 
                      dough. In small bowl, beat egg white and milk until well blended. 
                      Brush over rolls. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 
                      minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
