How to cook deliciously - Chef John's Chocolate Pecan Pie

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest shelf.

2. Stage

Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges if desired.

3. Stage

Whisk eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and vanilla. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and flour until incorporated. Pour in melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Stir in pecans.

4. Stage

Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour filling over top and gently tap the pie pan so the filling settles.

5. Stage

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes more.

6. Stage

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours. You can refrigerate it once it's reached room temperature and serve cold, if desired. Chocolate Pecan Pie. Chef John
