How to Make Landry's Unique Vanilla Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the sugar mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the pecans and melted butter.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish (or other suitable baking dish).
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
