04 - Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
05 - Stir in most of the Parmesan cheese and all of the chopped parsley. If using, fold in Panko breadcrumbs for added texture.
06 - Arrange mushroom caps on a lined baking sheet. Spoon filling into each cap, using just under 1 tablespoon per cap to avoid overflow.

08 - Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot for best texture and flavor.
