Gluten-Free Game Pie

To use up the very dry game from making game broth I made up this pie. It turned out astonishingly tasty. Cooking time is only approximately because after reducing the oven from 400 to 350 degrees I mostly watched the pie and not the clock... The pie should be perfect when the top is light brown and slightly crispy. For the meat I used rabbit and pheasant, but I guess you can use any kind of game or even shredded cooked chicken. For the cream cheese I used goat cream cheese, but you can use any kind of cream cheese.
