Step-by-step instructions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, warm milk, yeast, salt, and eggs. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.
2. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead the dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
4. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into 12 equal squares.
8. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each square.
9. Fold the corners of the dough over the cheese filling, pinching the edges together to seal.
10. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
11. Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter.
12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
13. Serve warm.
