Steps:
- Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
- Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
- Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
- Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

Tips:
- Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. If you're short on time or don't feel like making your own pie crust, you can use a pre-made one from the store.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent the filling from bubbling over.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F for the remaining baking time. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the pie will be easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pecan pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With its rich, buttery filling and flaky crust, pecan pie is sure to be a favorite. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give pecan pie a try.
