pear-gruyere-leek turnovers

These are great appetizers, or could be a nice lunch dish with a salad.  I sauteed leeks in butter, added a chopped pear and a pinch of sugar and cooked that down for a few minutes.  Let cool, season with salt and pepper.  Add some grated Gruyere cheese and chopped chives.  This filling was placed on 5" puff pastry circles to make turnovers.  Brush with egg wash, place on parchment-lined baking sheet, and let chill at least 20 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees until puffed and golden, about 18 minutes.  Serve warm.
