Profiteroles with mushrooms
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. In the filling, besides fried mushrooms, I also add hard cheese. It not only adds flavor but also gives viscosity. In addition, you can use cream cheese or processed cheese; it will be great as well. It's best to fill the profiteroles right before serving, while you can bake them in advance. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
