2 TBSP butter
1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla
½ tsp. sea salt
Instructions:

MAKE the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Lightly TOAST pecans in a saucepan over medium heat.

In a mixing bowl, BEAT eggs and then whisk in coconut sugar, vanilla and salt.
Gradually and very carefully WHISK warm syrup into eggs. Stir in pecans.
