Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and reserve them for later use.
Finely chop the reserved mushroom stems. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sautéed garlic and mushroom stems with chopped walnuts, panko breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive stuffing mixture.
Using a small spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the stuffing mixture, pressing lightly to pack it in.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and enjoy warm.
