Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to hollow out the caps slightly. Set the caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Transfer the sautéed mixture to a mixing bowl. Add panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the stuffing mixture into the mushroom caps, packing it in gently and mounding it slightly over the top for a generous filling.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown on top.
Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
