PEAR, LEEK AND GRUYèRE TURNOVERS
Offer these as a starter or as a light lunch with a salad of greens tossed in vinaigrette. From Bon Appetit, March 2000. Cut pastry into smaller diameter circles if you prefer to serve as an appetizer. Or, save time and instead of cutting pastry into circles, cut into squares for triangle shaped turnovers. Be sure to stuff pastry to capacity or otherwise you are just eating puff pastry...you may want to double the filling recipe. Variation: use gouda or smoked gouda in place of gruyere and drizzle hot turnovers lightly with honey.

PEAR GRUYERE PIE
I love cheese and fruit, so this pie is a natural pairing for me. Sweet and spicy wine-poached pears and a flaky, buttery cheese crust make for a winning dessert you'll want to make again and again. If you're serving this for Thanksgiving, bake leaf-shaped pie pastry on top for a festive look. -Alexandra Penfold, Brooklyn, New York

Steps:
- Place flour, cheese, sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. While pulsing, add just enough ice water to form moist crumbs. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., In a large saucepan, combine water, wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla and spices; bring to a boil. Add pears to poaching liquid. Cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender., Using a slotted spoon, remove pears and cool slightly. Refrigerate until cooled; discard cinnamon stick. Meanwhile, return poaching liquid to a boil. Cook 12-15 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into reduced liquid. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Pour into a 1-cup measuring cup. Cool slightly; refrigerate until chilled., Preheat oven to 400°. On a well-floured surface, roll 1 dough portion to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Add pear filling; pour syrup over pears. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Cut decorative cutouts from remaining crust and arrange over filling; re-roll scraps as needed. Brush crust with egg. Place pie on a baking sheet., Bake 30-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edge with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with ice cream.
