Part soufflé, part tart—really just pecan pie minus the crust. Whatever you call them, they're absolutely delicious. Just keep in mind that you'll need twelve 3-ounce ramekins to make the tartlets, or you'll have to bake them in batches, which could significantly impact the total cook time. Otherwise, this recipe couldn't be easier. Simply beat the eggs, salt, butter, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans together to form the batter. Spoon into the ramekins, then top with 2 pecan halves. Let them bake, and these adorable tartlets are ready to serve, warm or cold, however you prefer.
