INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a mini muffin pan.

2. Unroll the puff pastry and cut into 12 squares.

3. Place squares in each mini muffin cup. Cut the brie into 12 cubes and place one cube on each puff pastry square.

4. Top with toppings as desired -- I have included rough amounts for each cup, so how much you need will depend on your tastes and how many you are making in each flavor. I love making a bunch of flavors to suit everyone's tastes!

5. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden on the edges.

6. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes.
