DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 325°F. Place crust on baking sheet; line crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake 15 minutes or until crust is very lightly golden. Remove parchment and pie weights. Reserve 1 cup Fisher® Pecan Halves. Coarsely chop remaining nuts and sprinkle over crust.
  2. Meanwhile, heat butter in small saucepan on medium-low heat until browned and nutty in aroma. Stir in corn syrup, sugar and salt. Cook 4-6 minutes or until warm and glossy, stirring frequently.
  3. Whisk eggs and vanilla in large bowl. Add warm butter mixture to eggs, whisking constantly until well blended. Pour mixture over nuts in crust. Top with reserved pecan halves.
  4. Bake 45-50 minutes or until slightly puffed and center is almost set. Cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky salt before serving. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
