Instructions

Prep Mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Wipe the mushrooms clean to remove any dirt. Carefully pluck out the stems and finely chop them. Arrange the mushroom caps hollowed side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cook Flavor Base: Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and fragrant.
Add Mushroom Stems: Add the chopped mushroom stems to the pan with the cooked onions. Continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes until the stems have released their moisture and the mixture is nicely softened.
Make Filling: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the Italian breadcrumbs, cream cheese, grated parmesan, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stuff Mushrooms: Carefully spoon the filling mixture into each hollowed-out mushroom cap, dividing it evenly among them.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the stuffed mushrooms for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat using the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
Make Ahead: Assemble the stuffed mushrooms and store them refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days before baking.
