Recipe by: Cactus Pete

"A low-carb pie for breakfast with a cauliflower bottom crust. This pie keeps well in the fridge and can be warmed up in a microwave in about a minute. Just as good the next day. Try it topped with salsa or sour cream for an extra taste twist. The meat is optional so experiment!"
