- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cooling rack
🧁 Ingredients
For the Pie:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional – walnuts or pecans work great)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate or caramel drizzle
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
2. Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs on medium speed until foamy (about 1–2 minutes).
- Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using) using a spatula or spoon.
3. Assemble and Bake
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth out the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and set but the center is slightly gooey.
- If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking.
4. Cool and Serve
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
💡 Tips for Success
- Don’t overbake – the center should still be soft and slightly gooey.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Let the butter cool slightly after melting so it doesn’t cook the eggs.
- Mix by hand for a chewier texture, or use a mixer for a fluffier one.
- Add sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty finish.
