Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems carefully, setting the caps aside, and finely chop the stems.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked mushroom stems and garlic mixture, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Using a small spoon, stuff each mushroom cap generously with the filling, mounding it slightly on top.
In another small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the tops of the stuffed mushrooms to create a crisp topping.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
