Ingredients:

• 20 large white mushrooms

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/4 cup cream cheese

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Extra parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems.

3. Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and any moisture has evaporated.

6. Bake the Mushrooms: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.

7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with extra chopped parsley and serve hot.
