Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes depending on how crunchy you want the crust.

Filling

Step 1

Melt the butter and add the brown sugar, maple syrup and cream and bring to a boil.

1 stick Butter (112g)

100 g Brown Sugar

120 g Maple Syrup

30 g Heavy Cream

Step 2

Meanwhile whisk up your eggs. We have to temper the eggs, this means you're going to ladle in some of the hot mixture into the eggs while whisking. This is going to slowly bring up the temperature so that they seamlessly mix into the mixture and don't end up as scrambled eggs.

2 Eggs

Step 3

After you ladle in about 1/2c of the hot mixture into the eggs, you can add the egg mixture back into the main mixture.

Step 4

At this point just throw the pecans in (chopped however big or small you want) and pour the filling over the crust.

300 g Chopped Pecans

Step 5

Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, cool for an hour or two, slice into bars and enjoy!
