Tender button mushroom caps filled with a rich, garlicky cream cheese and herb stuffing and baked golden for the perfect bite-sized appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel (do not soak them in water, as they absorb it). Twist out the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and reserve them for the filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and any released liquid has evaporated. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, just until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the cooled mushroom-garlic mixture until everything is evenly blended into a thick, scoopable filling.
Arrange the mushroom caps hollow-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or drizzle the outsides lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Using a small spoon, mound about 1 tablespoon of filling into each cap, pressing gently so it holds and doming slightly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan evenly over the tops.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender, the filling is hot, and the tops are golden brown. Small pools of juice around the caps are normal.
Let the stuffed mushrooms rest on the pan for 5 minutes so the filling sets and the caps are cool enough to handle. Garnish with a little extra chopped parsley and serve warm.
