- Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Remember, we want united ingredients, not a rebellion!
- Stir in the vanilla extract and give it one last mix. Now, stir in the pecan halves, making sure they are well-coated in the gooey goodness.
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Don’t be shy—fill it to the brim! This pie is all about that pecan goodness bubbling over with flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You want it to look like it just got a sun tan—gorgeous and inviting!
- Once it’s done, let it cool. I know it’s tempting to dive in, but patience is a virtue. Grab a slice when it’s cool enough not to burn your taste buds off!
