Brie Pastry Cups

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on
your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one
who'll decide where to go..."
by Dr. Seuss 

Brie is a soft cow's cheese named after the French region from which it originated.
