Unroll and arrange 1 can of dough in bottom of a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, lightly pressing perforations and seams. Blend cream cheese and eggs. Fold remaining cheeses into egg mixture. Spread evenly on dough in pan. Unroll remaining dough and arrange on cheese layer to form upper crust. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley. Using fork tines, puncture dough in several places to vent steam during baking. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting into bite size pieces. Squares can be baked, cut, frozen on baking sheets and stored in freezer until ready to use. Thaw, then reheat at 350 for about 10 minutes. These can also be reheated in the microwave.
