Prepare the Mushrooms. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set them aside.
Sauté the Filling. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Mix the Filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion, garlic, and mushroom stems with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Mushrooms. Fill each mushroom cap with the filling mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Bake the Mushrooms. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Serve. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious stuffed mushrooms!
For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the filling mixture. Substitute cream cheese with goat cheese for a tangy twist. Garnish with extra chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika before serving. Use a food processor to finely chop the mushroom stems and onions for a smoother filling texture.
