  1. Mmm … this looks delicious! I’m vegan so I wouldn’t use the cheese … do you have any suggestions for a substitute? Or perhaps the dish would be fabulous just leaving it out? Thanks for sharing it!

      It would probably be good without it, but the cream cheese just makes it creamier. I am not sure of a vegan substitute :(
