Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Remove the stems from the mushroom caps, reserving the stems. Arrange the mushroom caps top down in a large baking dish in a single layer.
Very finely dice the mushroom stems and in a large mixing bowl combine the minced stems, garlic, panko breadcrumbs, cream cheese, ¼ cup of sharp cheddar cheese, parsley, paprika, kosher salt, and pepper.
Using a hand mixer on medium/low speed beat until the mixture is well combined.
Distribute the mixture evenly between all of the mushroom caps, around 1-2 Tablespoons per mushroom cap, pressing on top to compact the filling into the mushroom cap.
Top with remaining ½ cup of sharp cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Notes
Store any leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat the stuffed mushrooms, preheat the oven to 350°F and place the mushrooms on a baking sheet. Bake the mushrooms for 5-8 minutes until the mushrooms are thoroughly warmed.
