Hi Emma, the cream cheese is what gives the cottage pie it’s creamy sauce so is an important ingredient for the recipe. You could swap for another style of cheese like ricotta, quark or or blitzed cottage cheese hope that helps!

Hey Charlotte, you could use onion instead of the leeks, hope that helps!

Hey Tina, the cream cheese thickens the filling of this pie so swapping for cream would make the filling a little too watery. You could swap for quark, crème fraîche or mascarpone and alter the calories accordingly. Hope that helps!
