Notes: Note 1: I recommend buying the pecans already in halves in order to save time chopping :o)
Note 2: I promise that your regular large eggs will work just fine. I couldn't even fine extra large eggs at my local store.
Note 3: You might want to rim the crust with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent the crust from getting crispy. (If you like crispy crust, then leave the foil off.)
Note 4: I've had a hard time getting my pies to set all the way through. It still tastes DELICIOUS even if it is a little runny. Recommend cooking it the day before you want to serve in order to provide additional time to set at room temperature. Although it is good warm (thank goodness for the microwave).
