2 tbsp bread crumbs
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp cream cheese
1 tsp butter
2 tsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh thyme
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high flame. Add chopped mushroom stems, garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until mushrooms soften and turn golden brown, and moisture has evaporated (about 5 minutes). Add breadcrumbs; cook, stirring often, until they turn light golden (about 1 minute). Add cream cheese, parsley, thyme and parmesan; remove from heat, and stir until well combined
Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon mushroom mixture into each mushroom cap

Working with one mushroom cap at a time, gently dip the stuffed top of each mushroom cap in the mushroom- parmesan mixture to lightly coat it and then return it to the baking sheet
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of mushrooms are golden brown (approx 20 to 22 min) and mushrooms are still soft
