Steps:
- Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute crimini and shiitake mushrooms with garlic until tender. Remove from heat, and set aside. Melt remaining butter in a dish in the microwave.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Unroll the phyllo dough, and cut into three equal strips, about 3x12 inches. I like to use kitchen shears for this. Place two sheets of the phyllo onto a cutting board or other work surface, and cover the stack of remaining sheets with a damp paper towel to keep them from drying out.
- Brush the top sheet of phyllo with melted butter, and place a raspberry sized dab of brie on one end. Top with a small amount of the mushroom mixture. Fold phyllo dough over the filling to make a triangle. Continue folding back and forth in a triangle shape, brushing the exposed side of the dough as you go. Seal the end closed with a little water or butter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, and repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake the triangles for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, turning over once during baking, until golden brown.

Steps:
- Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper.
- Cut Brie cheese into 1/2-inch cubes. Working in batches if necessary, place a few cubes onto the prepared plate, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Microwave on high until cheese cubes begin to puff up, 1 to 2 minutes, watching to be sure they do not burn. Cheese will appear to melt at first, but then it will puff up. Sprinkle paprika over cheese puffs and allow to cool before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a good quality brie cheese. Brie de Meaux or Brie de Melun are both excellent choices.
- Make sure the brie is cold before you start cooking it. This will help to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Don't overcook the brie. The cheese should be melted and gooey, but it should still hold its shape.
- Serve the brie puffs immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
