Why It Works
The combination of sage and thyme is a classic pairing that adds a delicious earthy flavor to the mushrooms.
The bread crumbs help to absorb the juices from the mushrooms, creating a moist and flavorful stuffing.
The Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness and umami to the stuffing.
Baking the mushrooms until they're golden brown gives them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
