How to Make My Favorite Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly brush the inside of an unbaked 9-inch pie crust with egg white. This optional step helps prevent a soggy bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, ½ cup dark corn syrup, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped pecans, ½ cup pecan halves, and ¼ cup coarsely chopped pecans.
- Arrange half of the quartered pecan halves in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Gently pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the crust.
- Arrange the remaining pecan halves on top of the filling.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature with fresh whipped cream, if desired.
