Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Set aside the caps and finely chop the stems.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and finely chopped shallots. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquids and begin to brown.
Add unsalted butter, fresh thyme, low sodium soy sauce, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning.
Mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese into the mushroom mixture. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes until well combined and remove from heat.
Fill each mushroom cap generously with the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your low sodium savory mushroom bites!
