When leeks are soft, add cream and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until cream is completely reduced.

Roll out one thawed sheet of puff pastry into a large rectangle.
Place 2 slices of prosciutto on second half of puff pastry.
Place one swordfish fillet over the prosciutto, and season with pepper.
Add one quarter of the cold creamed leeks over the fish, and wrap with prosciutto.

Whisk egg in a bowl, and brush over the puff pastry.
Start over for the 3 remaining swordfish fillets.
Place on baking sheet and cook in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
To confirm that the fish is cooked through, check that internal temperature is above 145oF (62oC).
