Heat a pan ,add olive oil and minced garlic ,saute for few minutes. 

Add the chopped onions and saute until they turn soft.

Add Mushrooms and saute over medium flame for 4 to 5 minutes .

I use the same pan to make the white sauce just add butter once melted add in the flour saute for few minutes ,add milk while stirring the flour so that no lumps are formed.

The sauce will thicken

Place 1 tbsp of filling over each squares

You can add more grated cheese at this time .

You can brush the puffs with egg wash mixed with milk .

Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes

Pre heat the oven at 200 degree Celsius for 10 to 15 minutes.
