Start with two sheets of puff pastry that are semi-thawed for easier cutting.

Cut the brie into 24 small pieces.

Place each piece of brie into the pastry cups generously.

For the cranberry flavor, add a spoonful of whole berry cranberry sauce, about six teaspoons total.

For the bacon flavor, add six teaspoons of diced bacon and top with six halved pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.

For the apricot flavor, add apricot preserves and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts on top.

For the garlic herb flavor, mix melted butter with fresh garlic and spoon just over a teaspoon of that mixture into each cup.

Bake until the pastry is a deep golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve warm.
