5 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups pecan halves
Crust:
1 pre-baked press-in crust (not included in ingredient list; see notes below)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat.
Whisk in the corn syrup and brown sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and whisk until well combined.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Fold in pecan halves until evenly coated.
Pour the pecan filling into the prebaked crust.
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the filling is just set.
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars and serving.
Notes
Use your favorite shortbread-style press-in crust or a graham cracker crust.
Lightly toast pecans for extra flavor before mixing into the filling.
These bars keep well at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5.
For clean slicing, chill bars before cutting.
