Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a round ovenproof dish.

Step 2:

Clean mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Finely chop reserved mushroom stems.

Step 3:

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems and garlic; sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.

Step 4:

In a bowl, combine sautéed stems and garlic, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 5:

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mushroom cap generously with the filling.

Step 6:

Arrange the stuffed caps in a ring shape on the prepared baking sheet or dish, so they touch each other slightly. Brush tops with remaining olive oil.

Step 7:

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden.

Step 8:

Sprinkle with chives before serving, if desired. Serve warm.
