Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a mini muffin pan.
Unroll the puff pastry and cut into 12 squares.
Place on square in each mini muffin cup. Cut the brie into 12 cubes and place one cube on each puff pastry square.
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!
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden on the edges.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
*Nutrition information does not include toppings, as each will vary considerably.Flavor varieties:I have not included exact amounts for the toppings because it will depend on how many you make of each. You only need a small amount of sauce for each bite so if you start with a can or jar, you will easily have enough to go around. For every 4 bites, I would roughly aim for:
⅛ cup of any sauce or caramelized onions
2 tablespoons of chopped nuts
4 cherry tomatoes
1 slice of thick-cut bacon
Make ahead: These baked brie bites can easily be made ahead and frozen. Simply bake according to the recipe instructions, cool completely, and place in an airtight container. To reheat, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 until heated through.
Storage: These bites are best served freshly baked, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days when covered with plastic wrap or put in an airtight container in a single layer.
