Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon filling into prepared crust. Place dough strips over in lattice pattern. Fold strip ends and overhang under. Crimp edge decoratively. Brush lattice with egg wash.

Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is heated through, about 45 minutes. Cool 30 minutes.
