Position a baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven and preheat to 400u00b0. Using a fork, prick the inside of the pie shell all over. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Then remove from the oven and arrange half of the cheese in the crust and bake until melted, about 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and eggs and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the remaining cheese and the cauliflower mixture. Transfer to the prepared pie shell and bake until the filling is set, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
