1 egg

 beat the egg and brown sugar together well

chopped pecans. 

equally divide pecans into each crust

top with egg/brown sugar mixture.

bake for 25 minutes at 350* or until fairly set.

 

 For Cream cheese filling

1 egg

8 0z of cream cheese

1/4 cup sugar or 5-6 packets of Truvia or any Stevia.

mix well and fill the crusts.

or you can just bake the crusts with a few beans in each crust (so it won't bubble up) and fill with your favorite pudding recipe and top with whipped cream.  

 

I do this one both gluten free or regular.  This is a favorite at any get together we go to.  The crust is so versatile.
