1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
3 large eggs (room temperature)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the pie crust by fitting it into a pie dish.
Toast the pecans on a baking sheet for about 8-10 minutes until fragrant.

Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and bake for 40-45 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center.
