Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel and remove the stems carefully.
Finely chop the mushroom stems and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Add chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and chopped mushroom stems, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in fresh thyme and parsley, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of the cheese and mushroom stem mixture.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the filled mushroom caps for a crispy topping.
Arrange mushroom caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
